by analyzing extreme shifts in the rhythmic tone of the gene sequence."
Daniel Bouzas writes in the above article about how this concept has since been greatly expanded. "As time passed, more scientists began taking an interest in further developing the technology involved, and one of the first pioneers in helping to push the potential of this technology was American biologist David W. Deamer and composer Susan Alexander.
David began taking an interest in this area of DNA music when Susan asked him-
"Is our biology harmonically ordered in any way? If we could hear the body, delve into its rhythms and frequencies, what might it sound like?"
David would go on to use a spectrophotometer to analyze the different nucleotides and determine their light wavelengths. These were then converted into actual music notes expressed in hertz. Nest, they were programmed into a synthesizer so that actual music could be played using the genetic code sequencing.
Susan Alexander has compiled quite a library of DNA music:
Next time you find yourself with a desire to sing or play an instrument, maybe you should pay attention. It might be your DNA inspiring you.
As I searched through the internet with the query ‘DNA music’ I found quite a lot of sites that offer examples of the work being done by many scientists/musicians.
Here is one example, click on the video to listen to:
