About

The DNA Orchestra is designed to propel big band music into the future. The instructions encoded in human DNA, for example, give us purpose. I see the four rungs of our DNA as tools for composition and my purpose with the Orchestra is to use these instructions constructively by interacting with sound and texture. Big band music played by the DNA Orchestra then becomes simultaneously playful and intense, redirecting the frequency of the human metaphysical existence.
