Fairlight Demo is an unidentified experimental song sourced from WatZatSong user NY80sTapes' collection of short radio snippets recorded in the early 1980s.

Background[edit | edit source]

On June 10, 2023, user Kenny Cathead (NY80sTapes) first uploaded the song to YouTube as part of a compilation of short snippets of various songs recorded from the radio.[1]

On July 9, 2023, WatZatSong user NY80sTapes posted the song and stated that it sounds like a demo of the Fairlight Computer Musical Instrument,[2] an electronic music sampler and digital synthesizer released in 1979.[3] This song was most likely recorded from a New York or New Jersey radio station between 1980 and 1986,[4] and based on the OP's other found songs, it may have originally released between 1977 and 1985.[5]
