Synthetic Compositions: Music Made From Artificial DNA Sequences

  • Sydney Opera House Bennelong Point Sydney, NSW, 2000 (map)

When genetic code becomes melody, musicians and science data collide in a beautiful experiment where musicians shape the chaos of genes into music.

Hearing music in the DNA code of life

Imagine music born from the code of life. This project turns genetic sequences into sound, then invites musicians to respond. The result is a dialogue between data and artistry - where motifs in DNA inspire melodies, and structure emerges from chaos. It’s a sonic experiment that asks: can something scientific also be beautiful?
