Original Toronto Star caption: Music Box: That's what Sterling Beckwith of York University calls his computerised machine for producing new music. With this music box, says Beckwith, the student participates in the theory making (of music composing) and immediately tests the workability of (the) theory. Instructions typed into the machine become musical beeps.
