Beverly Glenn-Copeland's Music for a Future That Never Came

In the early nineteen-eighties, Beverly Glenn-Copeland was living in a quiet part of Ontario famous for its scenic hills and lakes. He heard about the advent of the personal computer and, owing to a fascination with "Star Trek" and science-fiction futurism, became instantly intrigued. He bought one, even though he had no idea how to use it. Initially, he just walked around with his computer cradled in his arms, hoping that its secrets would reveal themselves. For the next few years, Glenn-Copeland's free time was spent shovelling snow, feeding his family, and teaching himself how to use his computer to make music.
