Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

["Daniel Wolf" <>]

Marjorie Perloff has an article online, "Constructed Anarchy", here:  
http://www.lanaturnerjournal.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=52:perloffconstructedanarchy&catid=37:issue34&Itemid=54
While the topic is close to my own interests, I'd like to hold off on  
comment until I've digested it better.  In the meantime, however, there is  
one sentence that strikes me as odd. Perloff writes about the  
Cage/Cunningham apartment that:

"This “living area” was complemented by two others:  one, a kind of  
technology center, was full of synthesizers, tape recorders, and computer  
equipment, with much ugly wiring:  here Cage worked out his now  
electronically chance-generated compositions."


Is this description accurate?  The computers were there for sure, but  
synthesizers and tape recorders?  Could anyone on this list verify this?
