Quantum Inspired Sound: Sonic Explorations of the Quantum World

Live collaborative performances by sound artists and scientists inspired by theories, experiments, data, and sounds of quantum physics

Join us for an evening of live performance featuring quantum physics researchers and sound artists. Sound artists and quantum physicists are both working with oscillators, amplifiers, resonators, and filters but in very different ways. And both explore the implications of uncertainty, randomness, and feedback networks. This unique event will feature three new compositions built from the sparks of connection between quantum concepts, data, and sound. All created and performed by collaborations between sound artists and quantum physicists.

The compositions are inspired by sounds of quantum labs and experiments, experimental data turned into sound, and quantum physics concepts. Hear the sounds of mechanical valves in cryostat refrigerators looped and transformed into percussion; recordings of lab tours sliced to create soundscapes; quantum jump data transformed into pulse waves; feedback/feedforward concepts inspiring the inter-connection of independent synthesizer voices; and a sonic lecture with amplified chalkboard and live sounds inspired by harmonic oscillators, resonators, feedback, and self-oscillating filters. Don’t miss this chance to dive into the quantum world through sound.
