Alvin Lucier and Eternal Music 💫




The late avant-garde composer Alvin Lucier continues to "compose" music posthumously through a pioneering art-science installation called "Revivification" at the Art Gallery of Western Australia. 




 

Collaborating with artists and scientists, Lucier donated blood in 2020 to grow brain organoids from stem cells in a laboratory. These organoids, connected to a network of 64 electrodes, produce real-time sound responses using parabolic brass plates and transducers. 

The installation fuses neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and experimental music, raising profound questions about creativity, consciousness, and the possibility of artistic expression transcending death.
