Synthetic Compositions: Music Made From Artificial DNA Sequences
12 Aug 2025
When genetic code becomes melody, musicians and science data collide in a beautiful experiment where musicians shape the chaos of genes into music. Imagine music born from the code of life. This project turns genetic sequences into sound, then invites musicians to respond. The result is a dialogue between data and artistry - where motifs in DNA inspire melodies, and structure emerges from chaos. It’s a sonic experiment that asks: can something scientific also be beautiful?
