I wrote that in the little history article, but I'm not quite sure now. I 
had the chance to talk to Pauline Oliveros a year ago, and she said that 
some (anonymous) sound engineer had done the original setup for (Tape 
Music 
Center directors) Oliveros and Ramon Sender once. Riley apparently just 
took it up from them later.
