The Lattice Love Song
Download song in mp3 format
- Once upon a time
- we saw a charming lattice
- hiding in the sun
- hiding in the sun
- Flowers all around
- beautiful with treasure
- lattice lattice sweet
- why aren't you complete
- Orthomodularity, orthomodularity
- orthomodularity, orthomodularity
- Games are played and won
- sometimes they are lost
- lattice lattice sweet
- why weren't you complete
- Atoms in your hair
- covered up with diamonds
- joining all the meets
- and meeting all the joins
- Operationality, operationality
- operationality, operationality
- Lattice lattice sweet
- why are you so sad now
- you were so crisp and sharp
- and now you are so unsharp
- But don't be afraid
- soon the sky will clear up
- foggy rain will stop the
- effect will be algebra
- Fuzzy, fuzzy, fuzzy, fuzz, fuzzy, fuzzy, fuzzy, fuzz
- fuzzy, fuzzy, fuzzy, fuzz, fuzzy, fuzzy, fuzzy, fuzz...
- This was Liptovsky's dream
- all vanished in qubytes
- stressful gates to pass
- our little lattice sweet
- How it came about
- parallel and massive
- once so beautiful
- with flowers all around
- Calcu calcu calcu late, calcu calcu calcu late,
- calcu calcu calcu late, calcu calcu calcu late.
Lyrics and music -- Diederik Aerts.
History of the Song
The Lattice Love Song was first performed during the Liptovsky Jan conference of the International Quantum Structure Association in the summer of 1998. We thank the organisers of the Liptovsky conference, and more specifically Anatolij Dvurecenskij, Beloslav Riecan and Sylvia Pulmannova for the evening concert that they organised. This event gave the inspiration to compose and perform the Lattice Love Song. Performers in Liptovsky were Marisa Dalla Chaira (lead song), Beloslav Riecan, Diederik Aerts and and Robin Hudson (choir), Beloslav Riecan and Diederik Aerts (piano), and the iqsa audience (choir). In Liptovsky the Lattice Love Song consisted of the first six stanza and ended with the 'fuzzy' refrain.
During the next conference of the Association, April 2001, in Cesenatico, Italy, another two stanza were composed, and the second performance took place. Lead singer was Marisa Dalla Chiara. Beloslav Riecan and Diederik Aerts accompanied on the piano.
The version of the Lattice Love Song that you can download on this page as an mp3 file, has been recorded at the university of Brussels in May 2001. Marisa Dalla Chiara was visiting for two days, and between two meetings, in a rather improvised way, we decided to try to make a recording of the Lattice Love Song. We thank Niklaas Van den Abeele of the cultural department of the university, for setting up the necessary equipment for us, Sylvia Pulmannova, who was also visiting in Brussels, for supervising the recording, and Macieck Malinovski, for controlling the switches of the recording devices. Marisa Dalla Chiara is the lead singer, and Liane Gabora, a post-doc researcher of the Center Leo Apostel, and Diederik Aerts, are responsible for the choir. Diederik Aerts plays the piano.
