The Upload 20170704

Tokyo’s ELLEH soundtrack the waking moments of the day, that stretch of time before trains roll out for the day and when it is still possible to find escape from personal woe in a club. The electronic project often moves in the shadows, but their second single “I Can Be Your Best Friend” highlights their upbeat and optimistic side. 

Shuffling forward behind an irresistible funk beat, ELLEH let loose and give themselves over to new chances on “I Can Be Your Best Friend.” Specifics aren’t necessary and binaries are ignored — ELLEH revel in the opportunity that spark of connecting with a new person lights in somebody. Nothing is settled, but the hope brings out the brightest keyboard melodies and lyrics the duo have put forth yet. Techno-pop revivalists Crystal's offer up their interpretation of newfound possibilities in their remix. 

“I Can Be Your Best Friend” is a first single from ELLEH’s new EP, “Anthems EP Part. 2” (due for August), a second instalment of Anthems trilogy and a sequel to last Spring’s genre-defining “Anthems EP Part. 1”.

Kogane - Traces

While we cannot see small nanoscopic objects like proteins or other molecules that make up virtually all living matter including our cells, tissues, as well as pathogens such as viruses, our computational algorithm allows us to make its material manifestation audible.  This piece is a musical representation of the amino acid sequence and structure of the spike protein of the pathogen of COVID-19, 2019-nCoV (protein data bank identifier 6VSB [1]). 

MUSICAL DECEIT

A virus’ genome hijacks the host cell’s protein manufacturing machinery, and forces it to replicate the viral genome and produce viral proteins to make new viruses from it.  This musical art teaches us something about the fine line between beauty of life and death as an opposite pole.  As you listen to the protein you will find that the intricate design results in incredibly interesting and actually pleasing, relaxing sounds. This doesn’t really convey the deadly impacts this particularly protein is having on the world. This aspect of the music shows the deceiving nature of the virus, how it hijacks our body to replicate, and hurt us along the way. So, the music is a metaphor for this nature of the virus to deceive the host and exploit it for its own multiplication. 

HOW IT IS DONE: 

What you hear is a multi-layered algorithmic composition featuring both the vibrational spectrum of the entire protein (expressed in sound and rhythmic elements), the sequence and folding of amino acids that compose the virus spike structure, as well as interwoven melodies - forming counterpoint music - reflecting the complex hierarchical intersecting geometry of the protein [2].
