Entangled Health

Music Made by Slime Mold & Quantum Computers - The Future of Creativity and Healing with Eduardo Miranda

14 Nov 2025

Description

Discover the power of sound and music, how paralyzed musicians play together through brainwaves, how slime mold and quantum devices creates living music, and why scientific humility matters for healing. Join us for an extraordinary conversation with Professor Eduardo Miranda, a globally-recognized composer and biocomputing pioneer at the University of Plymouth's Interdisciplinary Center for Computer Music Research.In this episode of Entangled Health, you will learn how Miranda's team built living biocomputers from slime mold organisms, discovering how these single-celled creatures behave as memristor, resistors, capacitors, and logic gates. You will understand how to compose music with living matter itself, and gain insight into the profound lesson learned when recent research overturned his most celebrated hypothesis. We will explore quantum music and AI creativity, learning how algorithms and consciousness intersect in ways that challenge our assumptions about intelligence and creativity. You will hear stories from Miranda's opera "Lampedusa", a work inspired by particle physics, Shakespeare, and an invented language. You will understand how music, stripped of linguistic meaning, communicates emotion and wholeness in ways medicine alone cannot measure. Eduardo shares some inspiring stories from composing with living organisms to the boundaries of AI and Brain Computer Interfaces to restore human connection.You will learn what intelligence, creativity, and life truly are at the boundaries of science and art. You will gain mentorship insights on building resilience, embracing failure, and creating innovation. Perfect for technologists, healthcare professionals, musicians, neuroscientists, creative entrepreneurs, and anyone curious about the future of human flourishing. We also touch the potential of vocal biomarkers.Keywords: brain-computer interface, biocomputing, quantum music, neuroscience, music therapy, AI creativity, slime mold computing, healing, consciousness, innovation, learning.Subscribe, share, and discover how art, science, and health become entangled.---More resources for Eduardo: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eduardo-r-miranda-203a62208/University’s profile, up to 2019: https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/research/iccmr/eduardo-mirandaCLOT Magazine interview: https://clotmag.com/sound/eduardo-miranda-deciphering-the-possibilities-of-machine-made-creativity Brain-Computer Music Interface:https://www.iloobia.com/Paramusical-Ensemblehttps://vimeo.com/230146752The violinist won an MBE from the Queen because of my BCMI work: https://x.com/royalfamily/status/940597211037134848?lang=es  About the opera “Lampedusa”:https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/news/shakespeare-cern-and-game-of-thrones-combine-for-new-contemporary-music-festival-operahttps://www.plymouth.ac.uk/the-bridge/the-arts-and-culture-programme/music/contemporary-music-festival/lampedusa-behind-the-curtainhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jhMlxc2g3Yhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5T2MNQSe0Qhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00093jbOne of the acts - https://vimeo.com/331262882 Biocomputer Music:https://www.egconf.com/videos/eduardo-miranda-composer-professor-comptuer-music-eg10https://ars.electronica.art/keplersgardens/en/biocomputer-rhythms/https://starts-prize.aec.at/en/biocomputer-rhythms/
