TY - CHAP A1 - Kramann, Guido T1 - Of renouncing to do something grandiose T2 - Konferenz: X ubimus - Ubiquitous Music Workshop 2020, Online, 2020/ Konferenzband: Proceedings of the 10th Workshop on Ubiquitous Music (UbiMus); November 9 - 13, 2020 (online) N2 - A central idea of ubiquitous music is that music does not arise from the ideas of an isolated genius, but rather from the interaction of several participants [Keller et al. 2014]. But this requires a certain amount of restraint on the part of the designers of the respective setting and at the same time seems to require a full disclosure of the underlying theoretical and aesthetic concepts to the participants, if the participants are really to be taken seriously and given the means to actually be able to become creative themselves in an understandable way within the given context. In this paper, the consequences of such a demand are first discussed theoretically. Finally, for the concept developed by the author, ”Every human being can compose on the basis of natural numbers”, an attempt is made in this specific case to determine in what form such a concept could be passed on in order to meet the above criteria.

According to many model systems, myosin motor-induced local contractions of initially isotropic actomyosin cortices are nucleation points for generating cortical flows. However, the positive feedback mechanisms by which spontaneous contractions can be amplified towards large-scale directed flows remain mostly speculative. To investigate such a process on spherical surfaces, we reconstituted and confined initially isotropic minimal actomyosin cortices to the interfaces of emulsion droplets. The presence of ATP leads to myosin-induced local contractions that self-organize and amplify into directed large-scale actomyosin flows. By combining our experiments with theory, we found that the feedback mechanism leading to a coordinated directional motion of actomyosin clusters can be described as asymmetric cluster vibrations, caused by intrinsic non-isotropic ATP consumption with spatial confinement. We identified fingerprints of vibrational states as the basis of directed motions by tracking individual actomyosin clusters. These vibrations may represent a generic key driver of directed actomyosin flows under spatial confinement in vitro and in living systems.
