That seems to mesh well with what I have found on the web. Evidently I was mistaken
about the circumstances of this recording. Still, something was going on that prompted
several days of ocean waves.

Of course, this is all pre-Serge.

Last year I read "Analog Days" by Trevor Pinch & Frank Tocco. From what I read there (pp.
94-102), I suspect that Don Buchla might have some answers to my original question.
Unfortunately, the Buchla site is apparently not interested in eMail unless you are ordering
equipment.

My justification for annoying my fellow Sergers is - well, why do we do this at all? For
each of us there was some spark; this is my spark. I finally have the tools to explore it.
Not unlike an adopted child searching for its roots.
