Abstract:

We are interested in exploring ways in which unconventional modes of computation may provide new directions for future developments in Computer Music. Research into Unconventional Computing is aimed at computational paradigms other than the standard von Neumann architecture, which have prevailed in computing since the 1940s. This paper presents an investigation into the feasibility of synthesizing sounds with hybrid wetware-silicon devices using in vitro neuronal networks.
