NPR's Morning Edition presents the second installment of a series on the
intersection of science and art.  The series kicks off on February 7th with
the story of the electronic music pioneers whose work predated synthesizers
and samplers, and came before MIDI and Moog.  Louis and Bebe Barron composed
the first electronic film score for a major motion picture, the 1956 science
fiction extravaganza "Forbidden Planet" using their groundbreaking sound
generation techniques.  But they have been largely forgotten by history.
NPR reporter Susan Stone tells their story.

Tune in to your local NPR station on February 7th.  Local times may vary,
but air times are 5:40; 7:40, 9:40, and 11:40am EST.
