Most of it I think. The music shows will be turned in a documentary.

That actually happened in the late 90’s to myself and a mate, when looking for a loo in some college. Porter could not believe that we were scientists at a conference.

Also, if you look at the history of new technologies, e.g. classical computers, artists are always typically among the 1sts to make some use of it. Christopher Strachey, father of Oxford Computer Science, was a pioneer here. www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazin...
Listening to the music of Turing's computer
Some 65 years after it was made, earliest known recording of music produced by a computer has finally been restored.

That's why people invented calculators, since violins and the likes were never particularly good at arithmetic. That said...analog waves can factor pretty efficiently! ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid...

ZX-calculus is complete mainstream now in quantum industry...Wouldn't call that status quo. I am writing something too along these lines, but going back to the pre-Socratics.
