AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Scientist, musician, magician, Saumarez opted for the one epithet: genius. The brilliant radio engineer, turned electronic musician, is remembered by his widow in an obituary made up of tape recordings. But the first hearing of this stereophonic time capsule, if something of a shock to the great man's wife, is also a witty send-up. Shan Benson takes a light-hearted look at the music world in general, electronic composers, their wives, mistresses, admirers and critics, PR girls and disc jockeys'.
