I'll second this.  He was my inspiration for doing no-input through 
effects pedals (in my Death Pig sets).  (Side note: apparently the 
show I saw was the last one with his Shoebox Feedback Machine, as bad 
power in the venue toasted it.)  He has plenty of info and CDRs 
available at http://www.pulsewidth.com/

Before Myers' Arcane Device, you'd want to look at David Tudor's 1972 
piece "Untitled," which is also no-input.

I'd think you'd be able to trace the history of this back at least a 
bit further, but Tudor's the earliest proponent I've found in casual 
searching.  (The stress here being on casual.)

Hey Spider Baby--you're a Pittsburgher?  You playing out at all?  I 
have a couple shows coming up in the near future, but no no-input 
(the last no-input thing I did was a few weeks ago).

Cheers,
M
