Yes :).

'Computer performance of music was born in
1957' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Mathews)

So he really was one of the pioneers, 20 years before the
end-1970s/beginning-1980s. And today primary-school pupil can't imagine
that there was a time without personal computers just 'some weeks
ago' ;).
