I wonder about the usefulness of the tape looped segments, with voices repeating parts of the text. It makes it weird, but this is not particularly informative. Hard to sort out what is the engineer fooling around with sounds, and what is derived from the scientific exploration of the resonances of cells.
The IDEA of resonances and harmonies that can be perceived is quite wonderful, as is the possibilities that this kind of science -- which seems so off the wall at first -- could lead to diagnostic tools for medicine or who knows what, so very interesting.

Very interesting subject.
