Sounding Bombe; Enigmatic Music: The Contemporary Violin of Jack Campbell CANCELLED

A journey from electro-mechanical computation to electro-acoustic composition, this piece uses the beauty of music to celebrate scientific evolution and revolution. Featuring computational machines and mechanisms that are musical equivalents of the enigma and bombe machines, hear the musical enigma machines' encrypted musical pitches, melodies, harmonies and forms being decoded in real time! Highlighted within this work are recordings of the mechanical noises made by the original enigma and bombe machines from the National Museum of Computing UK.
