Sounds like: The intersection of artificial intelligence and human emotion converging in a, yes, luminous groove that makes the listener long for the heyday of Ninja Tune and Mo’ Wax.
“We are on the verge of a technological revolution driven by AI and quantum computing.” … “Quantum computers process information in alternative ways and this will most probably lead to new kinds of AI. We will see music technologies enabling us to create music and arts differently. I don’t know what these will be like.”
“With the advent of quantum computing, the music industry is witnessing unprecedented innovation, reshaping our perception of the creative process.”
“What is interesting for me is that, with quantum computers, I get completely new melodies that I would not be able to make, or nobody else, because it is so exclusive of this particular process and this is the exciting part: that I can use the QPU to create unique pieces, different from anything else.”
“Quantum computing represents a new paradigm for creativity beyond classical methods. It is not just programming, you can actually play the quantum computer, as an instrument, and create music you will only hear at the moment and may not be repeated ever again.”
“With QUBISM, Eduardo Reck Miranda opens a new musical era by relying on artificial intelligence and quantum computing…”
“Classical instruments blend with generative processes to offer a captivating, almost futuristic sound experience. QUBISM is not only an album, but an artistic manifesto celebrating the marriage between tradition and innovation.”
“QUBISM is an album that challenges our conventional understanding of music, introducing listeners to a world where technology and art exist in a harmonious and unpredictable relationship. Eduardo Reck Miranda’s pioneering work with quantum computers marks an exciting new frontier in the music world…”
“… definitely unique sound, with the artist moving through experimental, soundscape, drone, leftfield, among others, in a mix of AI and quantum computing technology…”
“…the computer music professor engages in a call-and-response improvisation with the IBM Quantum Eagle, a 127-qubit quantum processor at IBM’s research headquarters in New York: a violin plays a solo, then the computer listens and responds with a synthesized riff of its own.”
“In the recording below, which appears on the album’s vinyl edition, you can hear the violin solo start at 4:15, and the computer’s saxophone-like response from 4:33 to 5:23.”
“Instrumental in essence, it explores digital, electronic, ethereal, but also intoxicating sound environments that manage to provoke the listener into experiencing a series of dissynchronous emotions”
“Through QUBISM , Eduardo Reck Miranda offers a symbiosis between man and machine, an introspective work that pushes to redefine what music can be in the quantum age.”
QUBISM features compositions created with quantum computers. It results from Miranda’s research into harnessing emergent quantum computing technology to compose.
>> EDUARDO RECK MIRANDA’S INTRODUCTION TO QUBISM(Digital version) <<
While having learned classical musical instruments since childhood, my preferred tool for composing is the computer. I have been delving into Artificial Intelligence (AI) and innovative computing methods for composition for some time now. An intelligently programmed computer can collaborate in the creative process, offering fresh insights and ideas beyond my own.
Lumina Grooves #1, #2 and #3 are three renderings of a multifaceted piece commissioned for the festival Komplementārās pretrunas (Complementary Contradictions, in English), which took place in Riga, Latvia, in 2023.
I developed with my team a piece of software for a photonic quantum computer to deconstruct a given piece of music and deduce algorithms to reconstruct it from its bare bones. To begin with, I wrote a short composition scored for a chamber ensemble. It was in a minimalist style, inspired by the work of American composer Philip Glass. Then, I inputted the piece into the photonic software for processing.
Every time I ask the photonic computer to produce a new composition, the results will always be distinct. This is due to the statistical nature of the deduced algorithms and the inherent stochasticity of quantum computers. Metaphorically, it is as if Lumina Grooves lives in a multiverse with many observable versions.
Spinnings and Swirling Qubits are live recordings played with the Q1Synth instrument. Q1Synth is a software sound synthesiser that makes sounds with a qubit. The qubit is visualised on the computer monitor as a sphere. A continuously changing sound is produced while rotating the sphere with a peripheral, such as a mouse. At specific times, Q1Synth communicates with a quantum computer on the cloud to process the qubit. This results in an unpredictable dynamic sound.
For the rendition of Spinnings, three performers played a Q1Synth each using wireless gloves and rings. For Swirling Qubits, a performer donning a sleeve made with smart textiles played the piece with choreography information relayed wirelessly to four Q1Synth instruments.
The piece Zeno 2.0 is for alto flute, bass clarinet and electronically synthesised sounds. I composed the score for the acoustic instruments manually, without the aid of a computer. I meticulously scored the production of multiphonics. I leveraged the alto flute and the bass clarinet, which are monophonic instruments, to produce two or more pitches simultaneously.
Quantum computers were used in Zeno 2.0 to synthesise the electronic part and to produce responses to the alto flute and bass clarinet during the performance.
The electronic part for Zeno 2.0 was crafted in the studio beforehand for playback on the stage. Conversely, the responsorial interaction between the instruments and a quantum computer happened in real time. A music AI system listened to both instruments and used quantum mechanics to produce musical responses during the performance. The quantum computer acted as a buddy musician interacting with the performers, as if in a contemporary jazz-like gig.

The composition Qubism, for chamber orchestra and electronic sounds, comprises three tracks entitled Observe, Interact, and Revisit. Here I programmed a quantum computer to generate data patterns, which I manually converted into a musical score. I also synthesised the electronic sounds using these patterns.
It is fascinating that a quantum computer enabled me to design arrangements that produced unique timbres in Observe and Revisit. Although the second track may sound conventional compared to the others, Interact features moments where a quantum computer on the cloud responds to the violin during the performance. These responses, generated with quantum AI software, are heard on a synthesised saxophone and percussion.
QUBISM, by Prof. Eduardo Reck Miranda will feature compositions created with Quantum Computers. This forward thinking work results from Miranda’s research into harnessing emergent quantum computing technology to compose.
Quantum Computers are still in development. Hence the release of QUBISM, a pioneering album illustrating how quantum computers can be leveraged to create music in different ways.
Through this collaboration with Prof. Eduardo Reck Miranda, we are shaping the future of electronic music.
Eduardo Reck Miranda is among the foremost pioneers of an emerging innovation that unifies the most complex science with arts – Quantum Computer Music.
“An elaborate box of enthusiasm and smiles, for young people who have been around for a long time, brings back the nostalgic moments of adventure and freedom, for modern people, a vintage aura that promises great possibilities.”
“Tonylight made Lumanoide an infectious album in its dancing vein through its acidic, strident and sweet sounds. Flirting with house music and taking the form of a synonym for chiptune, the 8bit present here makes the listener even – and sometimes – have the impression of being inside the universe of video games.”
Tonylight, a genuine master of the 8bit music scene, takes the advantage of his long-standing experience in the sound machines’ design and production within LEP (“Laboratorio Elettronico Popolare”), to constantly change his set-up to shape new tracks, always maintaining a characteristic pure analogue and instinctive approach in all his compositions. “Lumanoide” sounds raw, acid and old-school, with unsettling dynamics and motorik rhythms. This latest album by Tonylight can be viewed as a fully-matured version of the previously produced albums that were almost entirely based on the use of Gameboy and Nanoloop. The creative verve is the same, but the sounds are full-bodied, deep, intense, and obtained by exploiting a recently produced Danish groove-box to its limits. Lumanoide is inspired by the unforgettable nights in the clubs of the 90s, and all tracks are 120 bpm, in homage to the Marco Dionigi’s “slow motion” djsets. The name of the album comes from “Lumanoise”, one of the synths produced by LEP, of which Tonylight is one of the founders.
