About
The present disc documents all three of these influences, the dominant one being the algorithmic sonification of data. That is, some outside source is translated numerically into musical notes.
Having previously employed other types of data, in the 1990s Gena started working with DNA as a result of his friendship with geneticist/pediatrician Dr Charles Strom.
Four of the works here - Chopin's Catarrh, Dihydrotestosterone, Red Blood Cells, and Vaccinum - are based on DNA chains, fed into formulas (through the objectcode language MAX/MSP) which convert the genetic material into long melodies.
