  • The Institute for Quantum Computing and the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony teamed up to create "Quantum: Music at the Frontier of Science" in February 2012. The innovative concert explored the history of music and quantum science over the past century through music and narrative. The standing-room-only concerts were part of the K-W Symphony's "Intersections Series" and were held at the Conrad Centre for the Performing Arts in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada.
    Performed by the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony.
    Written by Colin Hunter & Edwin Outwater
    Conductor: Edwin Outwater
    Narrator: Ann Baggley
    Scientific speaker: IQC Executive Director Raymond Laflamme

    What a great idea to make a concert this way! Thank you🥰

    My guess is that - all this means that the Source is silence which has all potentials expressed simultaneously, which means no differentiation and no clustering of fragmented parts which would be required for sounds, notes, sequences and compositions etc. (as in Buddhism). All expressed simultaneously means no differentiation, rather like white light... no colour because all colours / no notes because all notes are simultaneously expressed, thus creating the potential for an infinite array of clusters arranged from the artificially fragmented silence. This represents our (co)creative potential as humans.
    Mozart (et al) represents the human need and/or privilege to create/construct/compose/synthesise by first artificially/creatively fragmenting and then clustering (arranging) selected fragments into a controllable, repeatable, relatively comforting, more or less symmetrical synthesis that creates the illusion of a complete system (adequate universe) in which one can abide with some sense of manageableness, beauty and balance, thus creating relative significance and the illusion of separate/distinct significance for the individual and/or the (sub-cultural) group.
    The cacophony of sounds in mid 20th C (?) "music" (I think of Peter Sculthorpe's daring / the demos that make us feel uncomfortable) reminds the culturally conditioned that
    i. the potential for arranging artificial fragments variously is infinite
    ii. we (?)necessarily(?) or perhaps (?)unfortunately(?) become very comfortable with very few genres of arranged sounds (notes) ( we are not comfortable outside of our familiar [musical] culture), i.e., we are insecure
    iii. thus we easily lose our potential for vast creativity because there is something threatening about other musical cultures (for most of us),
    iv. we forget to revisit silence regularly (meditation) so as to clear the clutter (we avoid emptiness), neglect to refresh ourselves (preferring the mantra of sleepy repetition), and we fail to innovate to the extent we otherwise could etc...
    v. It is good to expose ourselves to random potentials in all things ...
    Digital Music - the unfortunate disembodiment of the art!

    The conductor was being conducted by the quantum computer, I would say

    Except for the beginning... it is just music that nobody wants to hear? What is the point? Are they even saying that those new sounds is the music at which stings are vibrating on tose 11 dimensions? I don't think so! Music created by mankind has to be for the joy of the spirit! ... not to prove any mathematical equation or physical theory! I am most amazed by quantum theory and deeply wonder about the relationship with music created by mankind... and on this line, I welcome any initiative to explore the subject! Thank you!

    so if I throw a bunch of random ingredients into a bowl and serve it up and call it quantum soup would people eat? it would probably taste like shit right? would I be considered a genieus or a pioneer? probably not.

      TheHardw00d I respect your opinion but I think that in fact there is no random, I asked myself this question maybe 7 years ago... you will follow your intuition but if the communication channels aren't clean you must first build up some technique first (in music: scales and arpeggios, in cooking: cut things and know all the proccessess) and then let your inspiration guide you (in Brazil we call "measure in the eye" when the cook create a recipe from "nothing" with the available ingredients) thank you for your opinion!

    "We can not predict it" Yeaaaah because ya'll read music. I sat here with my guitar and I was jamming along and predicted exactly what note it was gonna go to next every time lmao That's what a feeling is. Quantum physics. "Quantum randomness" can be predicted by "feeling". Not being a robot reading paper. Besides that "we can't predict" statement.. beautiful video.

    Strange representation...more like a western classical science n music universe! What about the other ideas that inhabit the earth since time immemorial?
