This is an amazing piece. I find that it is an interesting combination of content: a blend of ethereal music, factually based interviews and a rather intriguing use of noise generated by the yeast cells themselves. While the content is grounded in science, there are some very experimental and artistic qualities that cannot be ignored. This piece really reminds me that science is as much about how one interprets data as about how the data is gathered. The pacing, the etherealness of the tones and the moody qualities of the music made it very difficult for me to follow the dialog, but I sense that this was intentional. After all, I was listening to physical matter vibrate. Excellent!
