Let's get it on and make sweet, sweet music . . .
Saturday November 28 2009
A new contraption that "mates" two voices in the same way that a man and woman produce a baby has gone on display at the Science Museum on Dublin's Pearse Street.
The art-science project, called the Evolvaphone, aims to illustrate Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection in a unique way. The brainchild of composer George Higgs (41), the Evolvaphone sees two people's voices, as well as Morse code of their initials, combine to make a single piece of music.
Trinity College lecturer and geneticist Aoife McLysaght (above) said it was like two voices having sex and reproducing something new.
