&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;'''Ian Sommerville''' (1940–1976)[1] was an electronics technician and [[computer programmer]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Description ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is primarily known through his association with [[William S. Burroughs]]'s circle of Beat Generation figures, and lived at Paris's so-called &amp;quot;Beat Hotel&amp;quot; by 1960, when they were regulars there, becoming Burroughs's lover and &amp;quot;systems adviser&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sommerville was educated at the King's School, Canterbury, and at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Around 1960, he programmed a random-sequence generator that [[Brion Gysin]] used in his cut-up technique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He and Gysin also collaborated in 1961 in developing the [[Dreamachine]], a phonograph-driven stroboscope described as &amp;quot;the first art object to be seen with the eyes closed&amp;quot;, and intended to affect the viewer's brain alpha wave activity.&lt;br /&gt;
