In this short musical piece, I wanted to construct something that initially was almost completely patterned with a few blips. This is to represent the way that the proteins need to be folded nearly identically. I added piano layers to show the consistent nature of the proteins being made. However, in a key change, the music trails off from the structure that it was before, the same way that a structure would fold differently. From there, the song changes rapidly as the distorted folding occurs over and over until it eventually completely different from the beginning of the song.
Like many of my classmates, I was not searching to necessarily make the piece ‘pleasing to the ear.’ Instead, I wanted it to be clear that there was a rapid change in the structure of the piece.
