Ada's Engines

With Ada’s Engines, travel back in time to Charles Babbage’s salon to witness the Difference Engines in action. Then, find yourself transported to an Industrial Age workshop. Compile and execute a piece of music on a programmable Analytic Engine, as envisioned by Ada Lovelace. In Lovelace's Notes, she wrote, "the engine might compose elaborate and scientific pieces of music of any degree of complexity or extent."
