(Review of a book about that scene - my favorite phrase from the review:
, unfurling radical new sounds from their walls that collectively amounted
to global conversation striving for a more democratic, transnational, and
creatively egalitarian image of the future through practices of sonic
abstraction.

No wonder the nerds were excited about it! Longer excerpt from the review:

…composers like *Karlheinz Stockhausen, Henri Pousseur, Thomas Kessler,
Franco Evangelisti’, György Ligeti, Mauricio Kagel, Iannis Xenakis, John
McGuire*, and* Luc Ferrari *(to name only a few) - one of the most
important discrete histories in the development of avant-garde and
experimental electronic music over the course of the second half of the
20th century.

First conceived as the sonorous realization of modernism during the early
decades of the 20th Century, the project of avant-garde music only fully
hit its stride and entered the board of cultural conciseness during the
post-war period, as technological advancement - the invention of magnetic
tape, synthesisers, and every computers - facilitated the develop new
creative methods and languages in the form of music concrete, electronic
and electroacoustic music, as well as computer music. Subsequently, across
the 1950s and 60s, electronic music studios sprang up in nearly every
corner of the globe, unfurling radical new sounds from their walls that
collectively amounted to global conversation striving for a more
democratic, transnational, and creatively egalitarian image of the future
through practices of sonic abstraction. Among the most important of these
studios was* Cologne's WDR  Studio for Electronic Music*, the subject of an
incredible new book and X5 CD collection - “*Radio Cologne Sound The Studio
for Electronic Music The WDR*” - written and edited by *Harry Vogt *
and * Martina
Seeber*, published by the Wolke Verlag imprint.




Drip-dry suit: (tl/dr - surprised to learn drip-dry suit connotes suavity)

Cary Grant in Charade (1963)

“In the film, Grant plays the well-suited hero or foil (depending on the
scene) to Audrey Hepburn’s character, housewife Regina “Reggie” Lampert,
who is gradually learning the layered criminal truth about her recently
deceased husband. Although he was 59 years old when the film was made,
Grant makes a convincing action hero, spending most of the final third of
the film running, jumping, and shooting.

As to be expected, Grant is immaculately suited through most of the film.

Unlike his previous prominent foray into espionage cinema, *Charade
provides* Cary Grant with multiple wardrobe changes and the chance for the
actor—then pushing 60 years old—to showcase his ability to easily outdress
actors half his age.

Grant’s most frequently worn suit in *Charade* is a dark navy blue suit,
featured in many of the film’s signature scenes from the orange tamoure
dance to the climactic chase through Paris. One sequence finds Grant’s
character walking with Reggie along the Seine, enjoying ice cream, when she
spills some of the confection on the suit. Grant brags that the suit is
“drip-dry” and proceeds to show her as much by wearing it into the shower…
thus foiling her plans to search it for clues to his identity.

BAMF Style reader Shaiaz Shah deducted from Grant’s “drip dry” comments
that this dark navy two-piece suit is likely the Haspel “Exemplar” suit in
a then-groundbreaking polyester/rayon “wash-and-wear” blend. Haspel seems
to support this theory on their site <https://www.haspel.com/pages/history>.
https://www.haspel.com/pages/history

Joseph Haspel Sr.’s sons, one of which was Joseph Jr., took over the
company in late 1950s, championing wash-and-wear fabrics and blends,
combining comfort, ease and style. Celebrities started wearing Haspel,
Gregory Peck in To Kill a Mockingbird or Cary Grant in Charade. That was
Haspel. Nearly every President since Coolidge has worn Haspel too. It’s a
brand, in short, for ballers.



- so that means that rather than a sign of him being a cheaply clad
lowlife, drip-dry suit is much more likely to be a signifier of a certain
amount of swag accruing to Fallopian!
