There are many ways of composing music. One is to decide everything;
where every single note is to be played, for how long, how hard, and
so on. Another way is to let totally random events control it all.
I don't like to decide everything myself, because then I can't
finish anything. I can't say to myself that this piece is now done.
On the other hand, I'm not too comfortable with total randomness
either. I want to make music with structure and a lot of unexpected
events. So, is there some way in between? There are many in fact,
but I had this idea of structured randomness. What is structured
randomness? Does it exist - if so, where? How would I use it and
what would it sound like? I searched and came up with a few sources,
and finally decided to use our own genes.
During millions of years our DNA has evolved into what we are today.
Every little random mutation has gone through the harsh trial of
evolution, to be banished or to be brought on to the next
generation. Randomness has during our history created something
really structured out of nothing.
I have used the information contained in our genes to create music.
In order to explain how the genetic sequences were transformed into
music I will, in a very simplified way, describe what happens in our
bodies; how our genes are read to create proteins - the building
blocks necessary for life.
We all have 23 chromosome pairs. Every chromo-some contains DNA
stored in a double helix. They all hold a number of genes and all
genes consists of a certain number of base pairs of four different
bases (molecules); T, A, C and G. For the body to create different
proteins it deciphers the genetic code - the order of the various
bases in a gene. The DNA information is transferred to RNA, which is
read by ribosomes. The ribosomes translate three bases at a time (a
codon) and gradually build proteins using amino acids according to
the information read. It's the ribosome way of reading RNA I've
adapted on DNA and then simulated in Genophonics.
I had a computer simulate the ribosome translation, converting
genetic information to a music score based on decimal figures. I let
the numerals I got from the chains of codons represent values to
different sound parameters; which sound to play, where in time,
which attack and decay time to use, which sound channel, etc. With
these parameters I experimented on each piece. I developed two
different ways of determine where in time the sounds should be
played. One method plotting the sound in a pre-determined song
length and another calcula-ting the pauses between sounds in a
chronological order. The latter to easier "hear" the information
played. On this CD both ways of handling time is used in different
pieces. In most pieces a high frequency sound is equal to a high
codon number. The same goes for volume; a loud sound is equal to a
high codon number. I also developed two different ways of reading
the chosen sequence on the whole. In some pieces the chain of codons
are read serial, in others I've cut the chain up in pieces, letting
each part control a certain parameter parallel in time to the
others.
All pieces are based on genetic sequences from the human
X-chromosome - the sex chromosome that together with the
Y-chromosome decides if we are to be male or female.
Some pieces are mixes of two or more gene sequences playing
different sounds and with different parameter settings. Finally I
have added various digital enhancements and effects.
The sound backgrounds in Minor on a Loop and In My Mine are not
based on genetic information.
I hope you will enjoy listening.

MORAL DiSCLAiMER: We are very aware of the fact that our releases
contribute to the growing sale losses of record companies.
Unfortunately our style primarily targets small, independant labels
that need sales to survive.
For these reasons we ask you not to distribute this release on public
sites or P2P tools; if more and more receive their music from the net,
artists and labels will have to face even less sells than nowadays.
Please do not consider this release as a substitute to the original, but
only as a way to check out and learn about new music.
We absolutely do not approve of DJs or other individuals that earn
money from pirated music - Don't let them get their hands on it!
By buying the albums you like you disperse the guilt we feel by
releasing this music - Enjoy the music and be fair with the artists!
YOUR support is required to keep them financially alive and producing!
ATTENTiON: There is currently a 0day group operating under the name "AmoK"!
These individuals (mostly re-releasing cracks for the "webscene") are
in NO WAY releated with AMOK and we expect 0day staff to nuke their
releases as "fake" wherever uploaded!
