COVID Pan Drum: A Robot Tongue-Drum Rendering of the SARS-2 COVID Virus Genome

I’m building a custom robot to play a little lap-sized tongue (steel) drum. A program will read through the roughly 30k base pairs in the COVID 19 (SARS-2 COVID Wuhan Seafood Market) DNA sequence.

We exist in a constant state of action and reaction – every being is psychologically reacting to every action around that. […]
