RE: Why settle for inferior digital sound when you can have ...

When I started teaching at the State University of New York in Albany, the music department had a state of the art electronic music studio, under the direction of Joel Chadabe (whose book on the history of electronic music I would highly recommend). It looked something like these setups. If I remember it was designed by Robert Moog, the inventor of the Moog synth. There had been a great studio at Princeton, but I think this was cutting edge about 1972.

John Cage and other major figures in the electronic music of that period came to Albany to work in the studio.

Years later, all of the gear was in an underground passage way between the Performing Arts Center and the Chemistry building waiting to be trashed. I took a patch cord as a sourvenir.
