The UPIC was a machine that could turn drawings into sound (yes a bit like a DAW) but it was invented in the 1970's!!
I first heard of Iannis Xenakis when I interviewed Ezra Buchla last year: www.tangiblewaves.com/blog/interview-with-ezra-buchla-part-2
Now there will be a fairly sizeable book published that has the focus on Xenakis and especially the UPIC machine for drawing sounds.
Luckily there is also a free digital version of the book here: zkm.de/en/from-xenakiss-upic-to-graphic-notation-today
This article on CDM is a good introduction to the book and has embedded some very helpful and interesting YouTube videos
