How Aliens Made Contact in 1977
Problem: You’re an advanced alien civilisation, you’ve travelled further than you can count, and the locals only speak variations on a primitive phonetic language.
So how do you communicate with them?

Solutions…
By getting the locals to chant…


By hand signal…


Via Granstand’s teleprinter (at the ECHO deep space telescope)…



On a Yamaha SY2 analogue synthesizer (with keys marked)…

On a toy glockenspiel…

Over the phone…

Then when the locals work out that your codes are map coordinates (view in 3d) for a close encounter…
They can communicate with you on an ARP 2600 analogue synth…

Using coloured lights…

And then you can bring out your spaceship sized tuba…
