> my college is a kind of a kind of a center of the most tradicional, western avant-gard electronic music, so certainly I agree that it leaves a lot of outside

Let's list some of the outside.

Maryanne Amacher, Pauline Oliveros, Éliane Radigue, Clarence Barlow, Bebe and Louis Barron... I'm brain-farting so many, keep going!

Delia Derbyshire

Laurie Spiegel

It's a bit fuzzy in where the boundaries are for the category represented by the list.

Actually, what's amazing is that many of the people being mentioned fit within any coherent statement of the boundaries. Schaeffer is on it but not Radigue? When it said, "There's few women," I didn't think they meant it leaves off Oliveros!

>Bebe

Awesome shout-out.

Missing: Cabaret Voltaire, Art of Noise, Yes ..
