The latter’s success took Sutcliffe to the IFIP Congress in Edinburgh where he instigated the idea of the CAS. Using archival material, James Gardner examines the discussions between Zinovieff and Sutcliffe and their ambitions for computer music in the late 1960s; details Zinovieff’s crowd-pleasing turn at the Cybernetic Serendipity Exhibition; and traces Zinovieff’s studio spin-offs such as the sequencer in the EMS Synthi 100 synthesiser.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: medium; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: medium; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><b>James Gardner</b> is a composer, researcher, and synthesist based in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland).
