A few years ago I picked up "Music By Computer"[1] from a used book store, and it's fascinating.

Published in 1969, it's a collection of papers from the 60s about music and sound processing on the machines back then, and it goes into a lot more detail, if anybody is interested and can find a copy. It even came with recorded music on 5 paper thin flexi-discs that I've never been able to play.
