Sound 1

Sound 2

This music was made by running my sequenced genome through a computer programme. The key of the melody is derived from my maternal haplogroup. The duration of time that a note is held is derived from traits such as eye color and height. Pitch is a tone whose frequency determines how high or low it sounds.  The pitches selected are derived from traits such as earwax type and photic sneeze response.
