Protein music is a music, composed by converting protein sequences like DNA genes to music.

Theory

The ideas that supports the possibility of creating harmonic musics using this method are:

  • The repetition process governs both the musical composition and the DNA sequence construction.[1]
  • Pink_noise (the correlation stucture "1/f spectra") have been found in both musical signals and DNA sequences.
  • Models with duplication and mutation operations, such as the "expansion-modification model" are able to generate sequences with 1/f spectra.[2]
  • When DNA sequences are converted to music, it sounds musical.[3]

Practice

  • The software Algorithmic arts can convert raw genetic data (freely available for download on the web) to music.
