The provided Podcast is a comprehensive exploration of James Clerk Maxwell's contributions to physics and their lasting impact on quantum technology. It examines Maxwell's life, his groundbreaking work on electromagnetism (specifically the Maxwell equations), and his contributions to statistical mechanics. The Podcast then traces the influence of Maxwell's theories on the development of quantum theory, including the concept of the photon and quantum field theory. Finally, it shows how Maxwell's foundational work underpins many aspects of modern quantum technologies like quantum computing, quantum cryptography, and quantum sensing.

James Clerk Maxwell's Enduring Legacy: From Electromagnetism to Quantum Technology

The provided Podcast is an excerpt from a German-language essay exploring Michael Faraday's contributions to quantum technology. It details Faraday's life, key experiments (electromagnetic induction, electrolysis, Faraday rotation), and his conceptualization of fields. The Podcast argues that Faraday's work, while predating quantum mechanics, laid crucial groundwork for quantum field theory and modern quantum technologies like quantum computing and quantum sensing, particularly through his impact on subsequent scientists and the use of his inventions such as the Faraday cage. The Podcast concludes by considering how Faraday might perceive contemporary applications of his discoveries.

Michael Faraday's Enduring Legacy in Quantum Technology

Greyhound Indiana is a slow-motion road movie for the ears.
Long, textural drones blur like headlights on wet pavement, while distant harmonics evoke the melancholy of transit.
It’s a study in movement and memory — an endless ride through small towns seen from the cracked window of a midnight bus.

Eating a TV Evangelist dismembers the smooth certainties of broadcast spectacle.
Layers of distorted speech, static, and corrupted rhythm grind against one another in a caustic ritual of deconversion.
This is transmission-as-autopsy — a noisy, irreverent audio collage that chews up spiritual commerce and spits out static.  Feels like a broadcast meltdown — preacher’s cadence shredded by static and digital corrosion.

Eating a TV Evangelist

Rah Um is an electronic incantation — layered pulses and fragmented vocal textures swirl in a slow, ritualistic build.
Evoking the cadence of a half-remembered chant, it blurs the line between synthetic and human breath.
This is sound as ceremony, a looping prayer to signal and noise.

Phonorescence: When images become audible and sounds begin to glow

Michi Egger, Max Egger : Synkie (CTR TVs and analog video Synths)
Daniel Maszkowicz : electromagnetics

With their self-made instruments, the Egger brothers merge image and sound into a unique signal stream. Live images from old video cameras are fed back via television, begin to modulate each other and generate audible frequencies.

Daniel Maszkowicz is a power electronics research engineer, and multidisciplinary sound artist. He develops and implements devices for manipulating electrical signals and electromagnetic fields with a variety of unusual analogue feedback and sensors.

The AI VIPs page is a tribute to those pioneers—from the early architects like Alan Turing and John McCarthy, who laid the groundwork for AI, to the modern-day innovators who continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible.

Bob Landström’s creative journey bridges the realms of art and science. His practice is multidisciplinary, fueled by an exploration of physics and metaphysics that informs all facets of the work.

His digital creations, sound art, radio art and mechanical kinetic pieces expand this thematic inquiry, offering experiences that challenge conventional perceptions of time, space, and meaning.

Currently living in Geneva – Switzerland – Daniel Maszkowicz (born Daniel Siemaszko) is at the same time a research scientist, a curator for independent cinema, and a multidisciplinary performer involved in several projects such as LE GRAND CHOEUR NOISE, SM NOISE, and CONFÉRENCE NOISE. Having worked at CERN – European Center for Nuclear Research – he collected numerous field recordings from the fantastic machines he come accros by wandering in the laboratories and abandoned tunnels.

His collaboration with artist Emma Souharce resulted in a massive installation of primitive analogue electronics called BIBLIOTEQ MDULAR, immersive hypnotic music created by an orchestra of obsolete laboratory function generators, often combined with analogue video modular synthesiser Synkie from collective [ a n y m a ] for an audiovisual analogue symbiosis. They released their first LP in may 2018 with label Copypasta Editions and Aussenraum Records.

His solo project makes use of SuperCollider with which he brings together an infinity of digital function generators. With his music, he creates a massive polyphonic and multichannel soundscape where frequencies merge into an intense magma of resonating waves, aiming for immersive hypnotic atmosphere with low frequency beats synchronised with natural brainwaves and molecular resonance patterns. He also audiovisual live creations and action noise performances in collaboration with several visual and sound artists.

Daniel Maszkowicz presented his work internationally and contributed to numerous soundtracks and publications.
