Re: tape based pitching

Stockhausen, Conversations with the Composer
Jonathan Cott
Picador 1974
(also pub by Robson Books Ltd 1974)
page 92
ISBN 0 330 24165 6

sadly the book which described his photoelectric (canned) loop device
must have been consumed when Norwich Library burned down in 1994
(and our late Stockhausen scolar, Dr. Zvonar was unable to find
any mention of this device in any book)
