DNA encodes all sorts of information that makes us human, but, aside from encoding genes, could DNA also encode for a mapping of musical rhythms in a very abstract way? This project sought to generate rhythms out of DNA and compose a musical piece out of a gene's rhythmic sequence. Computational rules inspired by geometric analyses of rhythms guided the mapping of DNA's molecular structure into rhythmic timelines and melodic scales; these basic structures were then used to compose a song according to the sickle cell gene DNA sequence. The rhythms generated by this ‘genetic analysis’ alternate pleasantly between even and odd time signatures.

基因的音乐几何学：从 DNA 产生节奏

DNA 编码使我们成为人类的各种信息，但是，除了编码基因之外，DNA 还能以一种非常抽象的方式编码音乐节奏的映射吗？该项目试图从 DNA 中产生节奏，并根据基因的节奏序列创作一首音乐作品。受节奏几何分析启发的计算规则指导将 DNA 的分子结构映射到节奏时间线和旋律音阶；然后，根据镰状细胞基因的 DNA 序列，这些基本结构被用来创作一首歌曲。这种“基因分析”产生的节奏在偶数和奇数拍号之间愉快地交替。
