Swine Flu gene as ambient music: Viral music, literally. Yup, Stephan Zielinsk is thinking outside the fear paradigm. Swine flu has been sequenced. More out of curiosity than anything else, I wrote code to translate a key gene into a piece of ambient music. I kinda like it. It's jazz meets classical meets underlying pattern. Details and sequence at that first link. (Theresa Phillips has more about the source, the Swine Flu Gene Sequence Registry) Stephan Zielinski, Swine Flu Hemagglutinin (mp3, 6.7 megabytes, 4:47) |
