I consider myself a spokesperson for Disneyland because I live just a few miles from it—and, as if that were not enough, I once had the honor of being interviewed there by Paris TV. For several weeks after the interview, I was really ill and confined to bed. I think it was the whirling teacups that did it. The countryside, brown and dry, in summer, where he had lived as a child.

Des séquences musicales un peu répétitives qui donne une idée de la structure des protéines à partir desquelles elles sont construites. Rie Takahashi, microbiologiste à l’Université de Californie (UCLA), a conjugué sa pratique musicale et ses connaissances scientifiques pour mettre en musique l’écriture des protéines. Les notes inscrites sur la portée traduisent la position des acides aminés composant les protéines. Cependant, de précédentes tentatives de mise en musique avaient donné des résultats difficiles à écouter pour une oreille non initiée à la création contemporaine. Pour donner du rythme à la mélodie, les deux artistes-chercheurs ont assigné une durée aux accords en fonction de la fréquence du codon des acides aminés.
