This is a sonification of SNP data from Bastian Greshake's set, taken from http://opensnp.org
At a total play time of 2 hours (for the whole set), this represents the available positions 0 - 200000 (total of ~950000). All 25 chromosomes have been taken into account. As this is stereo it can become a little confusing... try this yourself on 8 channels (git repository is linked with the account)!

The Sound Of Bastian Greshake

This is a sonification project with SuperCollider by David Runge. It uses the openly available datasets of https://opensnp.org and creates sounds from bases/ base pairs on chromosomes, thus "the sound of people".
As for each human the sequence is distinct, this will open the door to a whole universe of sounds possible to create.
Multi-channel setups (4,6,8,12) are also possible (here you'll only be able to listen to old boring stereo ;) ).
Have fun listening and get involved coding! :)

If you have any qestions, or want to book a multi-channel setup of "The Sound Of People", write to david.runge[ät]frqrec[dot]com
