A dark-ambient/neo-folk/electronic piece released under the banner "Aiwos" and titled "Greujandī in Skōgai" (which _may_ be a slightly Northern-flavored bit of Proto-Germanic meaning, I hope, something like "Dawn in the Forest" ... depending on how my philological skills were holding up at the time of labelling the piece!).

A little waltz with a slight steampunk edge. This one's dedicated to my favorite theater troupe, Phantasmagoria.

The Trooper

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].

Viral Counterpoint of the Coronavirus Spike Protein (2019-nCoV)

Lockdown ditty from solitary flat-dweller in an English market-town somewhere in deepest darkest Somerset.

"The silence is deafening, the walls caving in
You just want to reach out and touch someone, feel the pressure on skin
And you're wondering how long it's been, how long it will be
Until you see your friends again, until you feel free

Springtime breathing, the world turned to green
England's dreaming of leaving the dream

Sleepwalking  through empty streets, a ghost in your shell
With your groundhog day on repeat, we're all caught in this spell
You just want to reach out and touch someone, break through these screens
And you say 'well it's been lovely but now I just want to SCREAM'

Springtime breathing in a world turned to green
England's dreaming of leaving the dream
Springtime breathing, we're all caught in this spell
England's dreaming of leaving this hell...

And the silence is deafening, the walls caving in
You just want to reach out and touch someone, skin upon skin
And the springtime's breathing, we're all caught in this spell
England's dreaming new stories to tell."
