aDNA / MAMMOTH – A Genetik Time Portal | Jürgen Berlakovich | TEDxVienna

A jam session of mammoth DNA-sequences and a human bass player.

Jürgen Berlakovich will open a genetic time portal into the past. With the help of a self developed DNA-sonification-software he will awake ancient DNA (aDNA) sequences of a mammoth and sonically bring it alive again. He will improvise and musically accompany the sonificated DNA sequences with fretless bass drones to create a dense and shimmering electronic soundscape.

Jürgen Berlakovich uses a self developed DNA sonification software for his compositions and live-sets. His DNA-sound-translator is based on a genetic system called Codon. Codon is a genetic decoder system that translates incoming nucleobase triplets into amino acids. The DNA-sound-translator uses this system and transforms incoming base triplets into various musical parameters. Author, musician and soundartist. He uses sonified DNA-sequences and linguistic micro particles in combination with guitar, bass, and electronics for compositions and improvisations. Basically he's making music out of DNA. Performances and releases also under Juergen Berlakovich, J.S. Berlakovich, JSB und Takamovsky. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
