This event will feature a set of novel Quantum Computer Music compositions made by the pioneering composer Eduardo Reck Miranda.
This evening event is part of the Quantum Computer and Art: How and Why, happening in DESY Zeuthen https://indico.desy.de/event/48737/overview

We are excited to welcome Eduardo Reck Miranda for the first evening concert of Desy’s Quantum Computing and Arts Workshop.

Eduardo’s music is not just inspired by quantum mechanics. Rather, it is created and performed using actual quantum computers. The concert will showcase computing systems developed at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research at the University of Plymouth, UK, in collaboration with partners. Highlights include a quantum cellular automata music generator, a live coding system called Zen, and PaulisMIDI, a quantum AI groove partner. The performance will also feature live interactions with Starmon-7, a quantum computer located at TU Delft in the Netherlands. The evening includes a short introduction to the compositions and systems and will be followed by a Q&A session with the composer.

Programme:

Doors open at 20:00.
The concert starts at 20:30.

• Moment States - for piano, electronics and quantum machine learning
• Heisenberg’s Hammer - quantum computer music live coding
• I don’t know how, but I will find a way - for violin and interactive quantum computer
   

Eduardo Reck Miranda is a composer and professor renowned for his pioneering work at the intersection of music, AI, and quantum computing. As head of the Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research (ICCMR) at the University of Plymouth, UK, Eduardo has been developing innovative computer music since the early 1990s and is considered a trailblazer in using AI for creative composition. His groundbreaking explorations include composing music with quantum computers, exemplified by his album Qubism, which features compositions generated through quantum algorithms and live quantum computer responses. He is the editor of the books Quantum Computing in the Arts and Humanities (Springer), Quantum Computer Music (Springer) and Advances in Quantum Computer Music (World Scientific). Eduardo is a Scientific Advisor for Moth.

On the second evening concert we are glad to present a quantum music performance by Black Tish (a.k.a. prof. Bob Coecke) featuring composer and pianist Dr. Rakhat-Bi Abdyssagin.

Programme:
Doors open at 20:00.
The concert starts at 20:30.

• Musical explanation of parts of Abdyssagin’s book ‘Quantum Mechanics and Avant-Garde Music: Shadows of the Void’ on Grand Piano.
• Demonstration of Coecke’s Quantum Guitar.
• Performance of the piece “Bell”, a musical incarnation of a Bell-pair under measurement on Grand Piano and Quantum Guitar.

Rakhat-Bi Abdyssagin, an internationally celebrated concert pianist and composer, is known for his prolific output and deep academic insight. He has been referred to in the media as the "Kazakh Mozart". In 2024 Rakhat-Bi’s book ‘Quantum Mechanics and Avant-Garde Music: Shadows of the Void’ was published by Springer Nature. With over 150 compositions and concerts at top venues worldwide, he now brings his talent to the quantum stage in a unique music performance.

Black Tish, founded in Brussels in the 1980s, are hailed as “...the pioneering industrial band that released their music 35 years late,” and a “missing link” between raw experimentalism and mainstream industrial rock. In 2024, they made headlines performing at Wacken Open Air with quantum-enhanced instrumentation. Being the first one to adopt revolutionary quantum technology in their music on a major stage, the band leader, Bob Coecke, is also a founding shareholder and artist of the first ever quantum music company Moth.
