Yes, but not very enthusiastically. I've never really got into
electronic music, preferring to do my composing (and most of my playing)
at the piano.

But, (getting a little closer to the topic) I do have a rather fun
device - a Bontempi organ with a number of built in rhythms implemented
in 74-series discrete gate TTL.

Sorry, not something I ever read.

'Twas I, Philip Belben. For what it's worth. I don't think that
bassoonists are rare enough that two or three on this list is
statistically significant. Still, nice to hear from another one.

(On the other hand, there is probably a strong correlation between
bassoonists and eccentrics, and a stronger one between this list and
eccentrics.)

Philip.
