There are three main components to the music generator: (1) bacterial colonies (2) tube rack (3) button control. We engineer bacteria to express different colors and lights through chromoproteins, fluorescent proteins, luciferase, and oscillating amounts of luciferase. We then translate bacterial colonies on a plate into a step sequencer, which creates patterned expressions of sound. The tube rack and button control add extra layers of interaction and control, making the user the coolest DJ ever.

Overview

We've created an interactive beat generating machine.

The tube rack generates the background beat. Tubes contain bioluminescent bacteria, and each color corresponds to a different bass sound. Sound is read left to right.
