[sdiy] pioneering electronics, Siemens

[Aaron Day]

Greetings,

I don't know if this has been mentioned but Siemens really went to town 
in the late 50's early 60's. Sometime in the late 50's Carl Orff was 
commissioned to produce scores for a series of Siemens industrial 
films. He accepted but on the condition that it be done w/ electronics. 
So, Siemens built a studio. It now sits in the Deutschen Museum in 
München.

Anyway, I have a CD from the Siemens-Studio für elektronish Musik that 
was published by the Siemens Kultur Programm that is quite good.

It features compositions by Cage, Pual Pörtner, Josef Riedel and others 
all produced at the Siemens studio. Real beep boop click twinngg stuff.

The copy I have came to me via the Siemens library for another project 
but I think you can poke around their site and get the address of the 
Kultur Programm. The liner notes are great as they give good 
descriptions of all the eqpt (aber auf Deutsche..).
