8:00 These Hopeful Machines

A six-part series in which James Gardner traces a personal path through the evolving world of electronic music - and meets some of the people who made it happen.

2) "Raindrops In The Sun"
New musics rise from the secret projects and surplus junk of World War Two. In Hollywood, hi-fi sci-fi sounds hit the screen. We hear Pierre Boulez and Karlheinz Stockhausen in discussion at Darmstadt (world exclusive audio) and interviews with Tristram Cary, Peter Zinovieff, David Cockerell and Brian Hodgson (RNZ)

Our very grateful thanks in the production of this programme go to:
