Hi Folks,
I read it and I had to share it with you wacky synthesizer-freaks!
Taken from the liner notes from the cd-booklet from "Reckless Nights and
Turkish Twilights, the music of Raymond Scott" - Raymond Scott (Columbia).
music professor Herb Deutsch on Raymonds Massive self built electronic
studio:
"Standing six-feet high and covering 30 feet of wall space, the sequencer
consisted of hunderds of switches controlling stepping relays, timing
solenoids, tone circuits... (and) 16 individual oscillators... If you
walked behind the wall during the operation..., the music produced would be
all but drowned out by the cacophonous klickety-klack of the relays as they
switched positions."
- Music, Computers, and Software. 1987 -
We're talking 1962 here!

Corneel.
