The Triadex Muse was a digital algorithmic music composer invented in 1969 by Marvin Minsky and Edward Fredkin at MIT.
The Muse is incredibly rare; one report claims that only 280 were built, and a small fraction of those are likely in working condition today. And that's a shame, because this was a remarkable device and we can learn much from it.

I've got a Muse sitting on a desk across the room staring at me right now. I'll definitely be checking this out when I have a chance to play around with it later.

"I've got a Muse sitting on a desk across the room staring at me right now."... That's something you don't hear every day.
