	I Sing the Body Electric (Bradbury) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is the story of the ancient sirens, who call persistently a man they desire, and how his wife tries to keep him from the sea.
		The story is poetically written from both the perspective of the sirens and the wife.
		: a child, Agatha, is unwilling to accept an Electrical Grandmother as a surrogate for her dead mother, until the Grandmother demonstrates her own immortality.

	Ray Bradbury (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Bradbury had originally intended to write several scripts for the original Twilight Zone (1959), though his sole contribution to the series was an adaptation of his own short story "I Sing the Body Electric!".
		Bradbury was also a consultant for the American Pavilion at the 1964 New York World's Fair, and he designed the exhibit housed in EPCOTEPCOT's Spaceship Earth geosphere at Disney World/.
		Note that for Bradbury, there is some blurring of categories, and the distinctions below are somewhat subjective, for he frequently has written multiple short stories about a set of characters or a subject, making minor edits or adding supplemental material, and calling the results a "novel".

		Bradbury is able to cram multiple subtle inter-relationships between the family members, the farmer's wife and a chicken is impossible to write about.
		In the title story _I Sing The Body Electric_ the body in question is that of the robotic grandmother that is acquired to take care of a family after the untimely death of their mother.
		Bradbury has ever written that didn't really click with me. That said it is only one out of eighteen, so can be passed on rather quickly to get to something better...

	Body Electric (by Stephanie Sollow)
		BODY ELECTRIC no doubt takes its title from the Ray Bradbury novel I Sing the Body Electric.
		This album was created on the instruments of our time by two artists who have reached deep into the heart of the machines, pulling out the passion captured on BODY ELECTRIC.
		THE ELECTRIC BODY is 30 minutes of morphing "evolutionary art" created by Steven Rooke, in the same vein as the BODY ELECTRIC cover artwork.

		Bradbury also seems to affirm Whitman's view of the human being as more than singular, as containing "countless immortal lives with countless embodiments and enjoyments"; the Electrical Grandmother tells her charges that she is "all the people who thought of me and planned me and built me and set me running.
		I am all the things they wanted to be." Oddly, though, the body of the Electrical Grandmother is of no importance whatever; her being is entirely "electric," and her "personality" lies entirely within her circuits.
		Bradbury's obvious fascination with artificial intelligence degrades the physical body; Whitman celebrates flesh and blood.

		A collection of fantasy and science-fiction short stories, amongst which are found the time traveller in search of Ernest Hemingway; a baby born into another dimension; a lost Martian city springing into a weird and extaordinary existence; and an electronic grandmother.
		"I Sing the Body Electric!" - This was turned into an episode on the original Twilight Zone, which was OK, but the source is better.
		Bradbury will transport you to a world that exists beside our own one.

		The mind of Ray Bradbury is a wonder-filled carnival of delight and terror that stretches from the verdant Irish countryside to the coldest reaches of outer space.
		Yet all his work is united by one common thread: a vivid and profound understanding of the vast seet of emotionsthat bring strength and mythic resonance to our frail species.
		An old parrort may have learned over long evenings to imitate the voice of Ernest Hemingway, and become the last link to the last link to the great man. A priest on Mars may confront his fondest dream: to meet the Messiah.

		This attitude had a bit of a range, going from taking him for granted to concluding that maybe this master, this craftsman, wasn't really as good as we had thought he was.
		If I were to look for the source of this attitude, I might reach the conclusion that it is the result of Bradbury switching track, veering away from horror a bit and going into pure fantasy, as well as topics more firmly grounded in the mainstream.
		The stories in I SING THE BODY ELECTRIC tend toward the more "mainstream" end of Bradbury's work, but there are still nods toward fantasy which mirror a reality uncomfortably like our own.

		Besides the title story, this collection includes 28 of the great Bradbury's other stories, including "Heavy Set," "The Parrot Who Met Papa," and "The Lost City of Mars." The selections represent a nice array of Bradbury's work from the 1940s to the 1970s, with some straight sf mixed with more lighthearted fare.
		I highly recommend this book to any fan of Ray Bradbury's work, or to anyone who wishes to introduce his classic works into their library.
		He is a passionate visionary that writes not only about sci-fi, but his colorful writing style encapsulates the sometimes ineffable feelings that each and every one of us have had about every possible situation in life, and dare I say, in death.

		Adam Sampson: Ray Bradbury, "I Sing The Body Electric"
		Bradbury's very good at producing short evocative stories that describe the feel of a situation rather than the events that occur in it; most of this book falls into that category.
		This might explain why didn't enjoy this book that much; it's not that it was bad — on the contrary, some of the stories were excellent — it's just that I didn't find most of the stories that interesting.

		In addition, an earlier scene with June Vincent as the kids' aunt Nedra didn't "play" on film, necessitating an expensive reshoot, directed by William F. Claxton, with Doris Packer replacing Vincent.
		All in all, however, "I Sing the Body Electric!" pleased the crowd when it first aired on May 18, 1962, though a much-later 60-minute TV version, "The Electric Grandmother" (1980), was closer to the spirit of the Bradbury original.

		All the 50 lessons should be vocalised sung upon the broad and open sound of Italian vowel A (as pronounced in the word father).
		The choral writing falls into a series of short sections: while there is doubling in all four parts, in particular the soprano and tenor sections, and while there are some isolated moments of unaccompanied singing, the individual lines are not technically demanding.
