I dunno, I think most of the best electronic music that came out of the
50s came out of publically funded institutions such as the WDR (see the
Gottfried Michael Koenig 2CD, Henri Pousseur CD and WDR comp CD on BVhaast
for a good intro).

Henry in fact did use turntables for his initial etudes, but that's only
because magnetic tape (developed by the military during WWII) wasn't
widely available for use yet.

I'm pretty sure that Cage wouldn't have been particularly down with
hip-hop.
