This program consists of two parts. Part one is a re-broadcast of Glenn Gould's documentary on the Moog Synthesizer and man's relationship to the machine with participants Walter Carlos and Jean LeMoyne. Part two is an interview of J.G. Parr, Dean, Faculty of Applied Sciences, University of Windsor. He reflects on the issues arising from Gould's documentary. Parr talks about the growing dichotomy between science and art and says that the development of the Moog Synthesizer "reveals or categorizations as superficial". He describes the Moog as a "great evolutionary leap forward" and questions Walter Carlos' assertion that the Synthesizer must be under the control of a human player in order to avoid musical boredom.
