"The
tunings are breathtaking. This is a classical masterpiece, not 'New Age'."
SEQUENCIA is a unique and lyrical celebration of the miracle of life. The songs of SEQUENCIA are derived and inspired by the resonant frequencies of DNA, the complex building block molecule that contains the blueprints for all life on earth. Adjusted to the registers of the human ear, SEQUENCIA offers an exciting and unusual glimpse into the often haunting, often beautiful whispers of the invisible world within. In SEQUENCIA, raw data derived from the light absorption spectra of the four bases (adenine, cytosine, thymine, guanine) that make up the DNA molecule is converted into sonic frequencies. These are programmed to a Macintosh computer and sent to a synthesizer, and then arranged into four pitch collections (or four 'scales' based on the individual base molecules). These synthesized notes mixed with vocals, cello, tabla, and violin become the palettes for Alexjander's compositions, which range from somber and zen-like to fanciful and improvisational.
"Sequencia is the Grail Quest set to music. There
is beauty and power in it; great power."
This just came out as a CD, previously it has only been tape. This recording is derived and inspired by the resonant frequencies of DNA. Actual data derived from the light absorption spectra of the four base molecules (adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine) is used to make up the pitch collection for all the original compositions. The pieces themselves range from zen-like to fanciful and improvisational.
CD - DNA Music and DNA Suite:
Both of these recordings were created by Dr. David Deamer, an esteemed biologist at UCSC noted for his breakthrough work on the origins of life and my partner for Sequencia. They use a technique called "mapping" to plot musical rhythms and combinations of tones which are charming and tuneful, as the bases proceed along the double helix. DNA Suite is informational and fun, while DNA Music is for a more meditative mood.
