[sdiy] pioneering electronics, Siemens

Is this the studio that you are referring to?

There is a book out called "Experimental Music" which is basically the story
of John Cage and his associates. It is an older book which was published in
the 60's or 70's. I will get the ISBN number in a couple of days when I go
back to the library.
