In this current project I have used the computer generated audio made from the Myrtle Rust DNA sequence as if it were music made by a guest musician in a rehearsal room. The challenge for the live musicians is to play along to this strange computer generated audio.

The science audio itself has a shifting sense of rhythm, abstract and non-repeating melodies and it lacks traditional song structure. As musicians our goal was to make it more musical. We added compositional elements such as introductions, verse like sections, bridges and various musical dynamics to match the beginning and end of genes as well other sequence motifs in the data.
