The music scans the human chromosome 9 at a rate of about a million bases in one second. Melody is derived from the contour of local GC content profile, high pitches for AT-rich and low pitches for GC-rich regions, and each gene is represented by one of two percussion sounds depending on the direction of the transcription.

What if the scientists represent themselves world as a piece of music instead of searching a pre-determined "mecanism"?

Cello and piano rock...and roll!

They’re called Nathan “Flutebox” Lee and Beardyman, thx Zee for this great sharing.

Ophir Kutiel (born 1981), professionally known as Kutiman, is a musician, composer, producer and animator from Israel. He is best known for creating the viral phenomenon "ThruYou".

Kutiman says : "ThruYou was born out of the belief that giving is a social activity - an activity that creates and strengthens communities". He mashes pieces of  music and voices recorded on YouTube by you and me, and the result is a true, genuine composition, a master piece of creativity.

Larry Lessig, the author of "Remix," the bible of the free-culture generation, wrote: "Watch this, and you'll understand everything and more than what I try to explain in my book."

Sandra Nkaké is french with Camerounese origin (like tennisman Yannick Noah). Her first album "Mansaadi", just coming out this October 21th, is not an essay. She is singing on stages for a while and she is really eclectic.
I like the way she plays with her voice, one more instrument and one more feeling on stage.

In the old time the only way to interact with music was singing, dancing, whistling, clapping your hands...but all these actions were just aside the music playing and NOT inside.
And now we just jump inside, the simplest and natural way you can imagine: for example you tell something and the music catch it and insert it in its flow...and so with any sound you produce.
This could be all, sound + sound = sound and that it's. No with RjDj the music will follow your steps, your movements: look at this new territory, more applications will come.

"Faire un boeuf" means "jazz session" but litteraly it has to be translated as "making a ox". Maybe we need to imagine that in France jazz was played in little "pub" in Paris and usually the musicians were little paid but feeded late after the show . In this video Hamilton de Holanda and Paquito D'Rivera are not in the kitchen of a pub but in the backstage, just two minutes before Hamilton's show.
