Place: ICFO Auditorium
Eduardo Reck Miranda, Paulo Itaboraí and Cephas Teom
Lecture-Concert “Tensorial Ripples”
Computer music technologies are ever-evolving. And so is music. Quantum computers are a nascent technology which is advancing rapidly.
They process information encoded as quantum bits, or qubits, which are subject to the laws of quantum mechanics. As this new computing technology looms on the horizon, musicians are beginning to explore it creatively.
This session presents three examples of how the presenters leveraged quantum mechanical phenomena such as entanglement, interference and superposition to compose music in ways that can only be afforded by quantum computing.
BIOS:
Eduardo Reck Miranda is a composer working at the crossroads of music, science, and new technologies. His background as an Artificial Intelligence (AI) scientist and a classically trained composer with early involvement in avant-garde pop informs his distinctive music. He has composed for BBC Radio 3, BBC Concert Orchestra, BBC Singers, and Scottish Chamber Orchestra. He is a professor at the University of Plymouth and an associate researcher at Quantinuum, where he is pioneering new approaches to musical composition with quantum computers. His latest books, Handbook of Artificial intelligence for Music and Quantum Computer Music, are published by Springer Nature.
Paulo Itaboraí studied physics at the University of São Paulo, Brazil, where he became involved with the university's computer music research group. He also studied electroacoustic music composition at Studio PANaroma of Electroacoustic Music at São Paulo State University. Currently, Paulo is a researcher at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research (ICCMR) at the University of Plymouth, where he develops quantum computing technology for audio and music.
Cephas Teom (a.k.a. Peter Thomas) studied sound art at the University of Brighton, and Music Psychology and Philosophy at the University College London. A former teacher and touring musician, Pete is now the co-founder and director of Lunar, a web development and software agency based in Bristol. He is a member of the Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research (ICCMR) at the University of Plymouth, where he develops systems for generating music algorithmically.
