About this listen

An unofficial audio drama adaptation of Arthur C. Clarke's short stories and presented through the lens of a tall tale told by Harry Purvis in the White Hart pub. Today, Harry's story describes the work of Professor Lister, a physiologist who attempts to discover the connections between music and the rhythms of the electrical pulses in the brain. Believing that all "hit-tunes" are merely poor reflections of an ultimate melody, the professor builds a machine to search for this tune.
