Tubular Cells Part 1 - Introduction
Tuesday Oct 22, 2024
Tuesday Oct 22, 2024
As an inter-season special, we are delighted to be able to share an example of work completed for a client.
Tubular Cells is a piece of music inspired and driven by the electrical output from cultured brain cells. It's also the outcome of a collaboration between a group of scientists who came together to see if they could make an abstract idea a reality for no other reason than to see if they could, how it would turn out and because it would be fun.
In the episode we made for ApconiX on the Tubular Cells project, Paul explores the origin of the original idea and how the key players worked together to craft the final piece.
