The Machine Stops - Excerpt 1

Act One Scene Two

In Act One, Scene Two, Kuno and Em become online friends having

been matched by the Machine. 


When Em asks him what are his interests, Kuno says that he is 

interested in space. Em then responds with the prevailing (Machine generated) doctrine concerning space: "Space is Annihilated." 


Heard here in a study format with the voice part played on flute 

and the accompaniment in the piano solo format.
