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.
