According to Pete Townshend, the next album by The Who will consist of music made by computers . . . a concept originally developed in 1971. "When I first had this idea John Entwistle and Keith Moon were still alive and in the band,” Townshend said. “They were very dismissive of it.” [One of the greatest rhythm sections in the history of rock opposed to man made technology? Imagine that – ed.]The guitarist has created a computer system called 'The Method', with technical help from a mathematician and software engineer. The Method allows users to make unique pieces of music by inputting personal information, sounds and a rhythm. Users 'sit' for the software in the same way a person would pose for a portrait painting.
According to inside sources the working title for the album is, “Bee Boop.”
At press time it could not be confirmed whether or not Gary Lee Nelson would be involved with the project.
Roger Daltry, suited up and ready to record
