ABSTRACT
Computer style music is heard. Lights soon rise on the Compumusic Research Laboratory. SUNBEAM, a shy and conservatively dressed student, is completing her performance at a synthesizer keyboard while RICK SHANNON, professor and laboratory director, observes intently. HENRY LORD has made himself at home at another computer station, his feet propped on a table. SUNBEAM finishes and awaits judgment. RICK SHANNON remains frowning, arms folded, for a moment.
