I have rethought my techniques and decided to focus on the very pedestal of life, the four base code. Inspired by the Experience Design article I would like to start with the bases as a database to create.
My overarching themes of global communication, transcription, and empowering beings that are slaves of their own code to have evolution in their own hands remain constant as I push to juice my concept.
Still sounds from within, I will choose those relevant bits of genes and proceed to use them as direct scores for a musical piece. Every three bases codes for amino acid, for a total of 20, so I will use these to control tempo. The music will progress through the cycle of fifths using the four notes as place holders: A-6th, G-5th ,C-1st , T-20th. Since A DNA strand has two strands linked together, one side will be the treble and the other side the bass cleft.
I would like to use Flash as the platform to create a code and database for it to fish from. The critical part of understanding in this project will be the interactivity platform with abstract visualizations depicting the correlation between dynamic creation and rigid blueprint.

Hey Julia. Here is the straight dope: You just confused the shit out of me. I don't really follow what you mean about how you are going to use the code to progress through the circle of fifths. Could you elaborate?
Also, I think, like I mentioned before, you should be careful about the specific way you choose to re-encode the DNA data, and play around with a lot of different processes before you choose a specific one. It could turn out the most backwards, confused, inelegant process could produce the most aesthetically pleasing results.
Good luck!
The progression of each new key would be made every complete rotation of the helix, as Kjell suggested in class.
Yeah, it's going to be very experimental and I'm going to play around with it, we'll see where this will lead.
