Bio Music
If it weren't for computer music experiments, pop music wouldn't have evolved as it has. It has played an important role in music as a system, whereby those experiments have had a ripple effect into recording studios and musical instrument development.
Some music remains cloistered and academic, with no cross-pollination between the university lab and the recording studio. Other music has left academia and has begun to acculturate through "gateway" artists, such as Bjork.
Music from slime mold
It is inconceivable that slime mold could be used in a pop music setting, although a few artists could get away with it as conceptual art (Bjork) and other sci-artists/art-scientists. Lab experiments can sometimes quickly leap from lab to the stage. (The Internet is the prime example.)
The idea that computation will always be based in silicon and magnetic media is fallacious. Like an earthquake fault, technology is fully cocked and ready to be paradigmatic and disruptive. The future of computation may be moist.
