Cells from deceased composer are being used to create new music

<img alt="Cells from deceased composer are being used to create new music" src="https://theneedledrop.com/content/images/2025/04/IMG_5525-1.JPG" /><p>American avant-garde composer <strong>Alvin Lucier </strong>died in 2021 &#x2013; but scientists have developed a &quot;mini-brain,&quot; using a selection of the late musician&apos;s cells, to make new music.</p><p>The groundbreaking results are being showcased in an exhibition entitled Revivification, at the Art Gallery of Western Australia in the city of Perth. Admission is free for visitors, and the exhibit will run until August.</p><p>It seems that Lucier would be proud of this posthumous career, given that the composer spent his life creating such pieces as 1965&apos;s &quot;Music for Solo Performer,&quot; which involved making music from brain waves. </p><p>Before his death in 2021 at the age of 90, Lucier had been working with the team behind Revivification for three years. Harvard scientists took Lucier&apos;s donated blood cells and reprogrammed them into stem cells; subsequently, these cells were transformed into organoids, which mirrored elements of the human brain.</p><p>Lucier&apos;s &quot;mini-brain&quot; is being housed within a structure composed of 20 brass plates. The &quot;brain&quot; produces signals, which send out pulses that strike the plates. You can read more about the exhibition <a href="https://artgallery.wa.gov.au/whats-on/exhibitions/revivification/" rel="noreferrer">here</a>.</p>

🎶 Lo spirito innovativo di Alvin Lucier rinasce grazie all'intelligenza artificiale, 4 anni dopo la sua scomparsa. Un'armonia futuristica da non perdere!

Ölü müzisyen şarkı besteledi: Avustralya’da “Revivification” (Yeniden Canlandırma) adlı yeni bir sanat projesinde, 2021’de hayatını kaybeden Amerikalı deneysel besteci Alvin Lucier’in DNA’sı kullanılarak oluşturulan laboratuvar ortamında büyütülmüş bir beyin, gerçek zamanlı olarak müzik üretiyor.

> Revivification consists of an incubator housing a lab-grown “in-vitro brain”. This “organoid” was grown from blood donated to the project by the late American experimental composer Alvin Lucier. Lining the walls are 20 large, curved brass plates. Signals from Lucier’s in-vitro “brain” are transmitted through transducers and actuators, striking the brass and creating sound.

Made a v silly "I Am Sitting in a Room" clone for a School for Poetic Computation class I'm taking this summer (Musical Web). You can poke around my blog post at: 2nd.systems/musicalweb/pages/1 | #sfpc #audio #musicalweb #AlvinLucier

Screenshot of an internet browser showing a preview of a web page titled "stardust" and sized for mobile devices with an image of a hard drive in the center (disk exposed). To the right of the web page preview is the browser error console which shows three or more red-toned errors that each read "I am sitting at a computer different from the one you are at now. I recorded the sound of my speaking voice and this website is going to play it back, download it and re-upload it again and again until the resonant frequencies of the server reinforce themselves so that any semblance of my speech, with perhaps the exception of rhythm, is destroyed. What you will hear, then, are the natural resonant frequencies of the server articulated by speech. I regard this activity not so much as a demonstration of a physical fact, but more as a way to smooth out any irregularities".

#Upcoming Exemplifying #AlvinLucier’s ability to uncover near-infinite complexity within seemingly simple materials, “Works for the Ever Present Orchestra Vol. II” is a fitting tribute to one of the major figures of the experimental music tradition and a testament to the continuing power of his work.

Alvin Lucier - One Arm Bandits

"One Arm Bandits is an hour-long piece in four parts, scored for four cellists. The cellists play only open strings, thus using only their right arms, never fingering the strings with the left hand. Recorded in Alvin Lucier's dining room, this work features cellists Tyler J. Borden, Laura Cetilia, Charles Curtis and Judith Hamann. Lucier oversaw and produced the recording, and approved the final takes."

@futurebird #AlvinLucier method: "I am producing AI art, different from the art you are seeing now. I will download the art and re-upload it into the same AI again and again, until the inner workings of the AI reinforce themselves, and we get to the bottom of this barrel even faster, and any semblance of the art is destroyed."
