Amsterdam Bert Bakker Stiff wrappers (softcover), 20 x 14 x 2,5 cms., 382, (2) pp. text in Dutch. ISBN 9035101340. First Edition. Dick Raaymakers (Raaijmakers) was a Dutch composer, theater maker and theorist. He is known as a pioneer in the field of electronic music and tape music but he has also realized numerous music theater pieces and has published many theoretical essays. 'This classic work from 1984 reads as a kind of poem, though completely in prose. In an extremely precise way Raaijmakers expands on the way humans deal with technical constructions, and how they relate to their world, with spot-on, often funny observations that open unexpected insights. Because of this systematical exactness it feels like a method indeed'. Covers slightly yellowed to edges (as usual), otherwise a fine copy.
