Spectral Analysis is fun, right?

Copypasta from the assignment:
Project Name: Decay
by Kennedy Gray

"The project is an audio file created in REAPER that uses ATCG as a musical legend. Overlaying the project is a very definite frequency sweep that is actually an image of a DNA strand re-encoded into an audio file. Over the time of the song, the DNA strand image becomes more and more faint by being poluted with more and more noise until the end where there is solid noise overlaying the soundtrack.

The spectral image of DNA represents itself and the noise over time represents mutations slowly and slowly muting the image. This secretes the fact that DNA is ultimate goal is to wilt away into nothing after too many mutations. Cancer, if you must."
