Re: Biohacker Beats: Music of the MicroBiome
@3
In a lot of ways, what they did is no different than how anybody else makes music, either with trash cans, stomping, hitting inanimate objects, etc. only in this case they use bacteria found on the human body to mix music in an arbitrary/convoluted way. I can't say as i'm overly "hyped" by it, since as you say there's something lost in the translation from the original source, its more that its just as interesting to see what other people are up to and the different ways they happen to mix music. Its sort of like Rube Goldberg Machines, pointless complexity for its own sake can be interesting in and of itself sometimes, or maybe its that there's more to the overall performance besides the end result of the music, such as the interplay of the mechanics and methods used, be it complex mechanical engineering or in this case biological sampling.
Anyway, if they were to convert raw DNA strings and bind the different values to instruments with modifiers based on their Epigenetic _expression_, that would be especially interesting since it would be much more of a raw _expression_ of the base information itself.
