#even the act of limiting the number of sensors/pitches to three was in itself a bit of creative input from the humans

#is it the scientists had bias and set the keyboard to make the most mushroom sounding music alive#or is it innate mushroom music
The mushroom produces an electrical signal across one of three sensors, the placement of which has been decided by a human. Also it doesn't appear that the signals get interpreted beyond a binary 'on or off'. That is the full extent of the mushroom's creative input. It did not choose the pitches to play, or the synth patch with which to play them. If those three different pulses would instead be hooked up to a drum machine nobody would buy it as being mushroom music.
But yeah, this is definitely mushroom music.
