Protein music (DNA music or genetic music) is a musical technique where music is composed by converting protein sequences or genes to musical notes. It is a theoretical method made by Joël Sternheimer, who is a physicist, composer and mathematician.[1][circular reference]
The first published references to protein music in the scientific literature are a paper co-authored by a member of The Shamen in 1996,[2] and a short correspondence by Hayashi and Munakata in Nature in 1984.[3]
