Oxy Fugue 9 by Larry Lang published on 2021-02-11T03:12:41Z This piece was composed starting with codons from the human genome. In particular, I focused on oxytocin, the hormone which induces labor, as my wife was pregnant when I wrote it. The 27 bases (9 amino acids) forming oxytocin are mapped to the repeating piano figure, the full oxytocin gene becomes the bass line, and snips of RNA inversions, transpositions, and gonadatropin pizzicato fill in the rest.
