ICCMR is a laboratory for Computer Music research at Plymouth University and the impact of their recent research into building bio-processors from slime mould is now gaining ground in the USA.
Professor Eduardo Miranda and his PhD student, Ed Braund, were invited by BBC Earth to join underwater astronaut David Reichert, award-winning wildlife film maker John Downer and Sir David Attenborough to present fresh insights into the boundary-pushing technology used to reveal wonders of our natural world at the prestigious EG Conference in California.
Professor Miranda is sharing the stage with big thinkers from a broad array of disciplines such as virtuoso violinist Joshua Bell, Oscar-winning filmmaker Hugh Welchman and Nicholas Negroponte, the founder of MIT Media Lab. They will discuss the worlds of innovation, creativity and insightful thinking.
In addition Ed Braund will demonstrate ICCMR’s interactive musical biocomputer system, which will be on display at BBC Earth’s EG base camp, for all participants to play piano duets and contribute testimonials for a forthcoming BBC documentary. ICCMR’s latest short movie documenting the biocomputer music project has just been released on Vimeo.
