This piece provides a fascinating look into the tools and techniques
used at one of the earliest dedicated electronic-music-production facilities in the world.  Instruments discussed include the Bode-Melochord and the Monochord.  We also learn in the article that apparently John Cage had to sell some of his Thirteen Radios to purchase Eight Tape Recorders.  In related news, I heard that you and your band sold your guitars and bought turntables; I  hear that you and your band sold your turntables and bought guitars.  (another connection – he was apparently there at the first CAN show – IN COLOGNE – coincidence?) And the great circle of life continues.
