Abstract

Computers have and continue to shape the sound and music landscape that we experience. Whether that be as tools to make music with or inspiration for writing and composing music, the impact of computation in a sound generation is not difficult to find. This chapter provides the background and specific details of a collaboration formed in 2021 between the Quantum Engineering Technology Labs-a quantum computing and technology research group at the University of Bristol-and music artist, producer and audio engineer Simon Small. The goal of the collaboration was to explore how the data and concepts used in the research at the university could be ‘sonified’ to create sounds or even make music.
