Reveiw of The Singing Yeast Cell


This is a remarkable use of radio, a voyage made of sound combining the very solidness of scientific voice and the diaphanous hand of sound art. Actually this is like two voages in one: with sound as translator of cell, you get to be variations of a cell: a mutant, a mother, a daughter (leaving a mother), a drunk..and the other: an occasional subliminal urge to wander in places where science minds go.

This could easily be inserted for pleasure or science - my only fear is the length for NPR news shows - but well worth it ! ( ...notes to producer) But in the end, it is a beautiful thing. Chapeau.
