If music is mathematics, then it holds to reason that by applying advanced mathematical theory to the structure of music itself, hitherto undiscovered sounds will emerge. This is the broad conceptual framework underlying the work of Japanese composer and sound artist Reiko Yamada, whose ongoing work ‘Of Randomness and Imperfection’, seeks to produce unique sound events from the genuine quantum true randomness of quantum physical systems.
Developed with Prof. Dr. Maciej Lewenstein (ICFO, Barcelona) the resulting show ‘Interpreting Quantum Randomness’, presents the results of this research - a series of radically new timbres and frequencies, created by the application of the principles of quantum theory to music, an aesthetic approximation of the level of quantum randomness that exists in the natural world.
