Evolution of the Saxophone

In the beginning of the thread, we have already shown the cut-off point for the octave key, which then becomes the basic line for reading sheet music (all sax notes occur either above or below the line), subsequently eliminating four lines of the traditional musical staff.
 
Future morphologies of keyboard will link the electric didj and sax. The switching harness, unlike that for woodwinds already described, will likely have the switches arranged as in an accordion. Again, the harness can attach to any didj and not mar its surface, just as the electric sax can play any keyboard and not mar its surfaces. With this switching harness, the keyboardist can play synth and didj at the same time, while also activating the keys of a sax, flute or other woodwind, and can overlay the synth melody, didj rhythms, and live sax (when not playing the didj) if he or she knows how to play a woodwind mouthpiece. It is possible to activate sax keys with electric solenoids.

A cure for cancer? Israeli scientists say they think they found one
'....12 amino acids....'

We have found one report along these lines:

BRCC2 (Breast Cancer Cell 2)
BRCC2, a novel BH3-like domain-containing protein, induces apoptosis in a caspase-dependent manner. - PubMed - NCBI
'....BH3-like domain (5-12 aa, LPIEGQEI)....'

Referring to the chart, above, one can play this sequence to hear it: leucine, proline, isoleucine, glutamic acid, glycine, glutamine, glutamic acid, isoleucine.
 
An approach to an electric didj uses a simple drone and synth line:

The player is still a slave to one note at a time, even when the live sax sound is overlain with the synth. An electric variation splits the hands for melody and chords, and can be adapted to a harness as an electric didgeridoo, yielding synth chords and melody which are overlain with didgeridoo rhythms and drone.
 
The first of this video shows how a split-hand chord approach could be played simultaneously from a live horn connected to a synth. The entire electric horn (both left and right hands) can play synth chords, (or [italics]) it is split into melody (left hand) /chord (right hand), which could be either sax melody (left hand) and synth chords (right hand), but not synth chords left hand, because the sax is a low-note priority intstrument:

Notational systems such as amino acid music will be linked to the development of a Japanese alphabet (in progress), thus rendering any word in any language "playable" with the simple addition of a handful of other characters than the basic 20 used to denote amino acids. One approach is based on the organic lines of the hiragana, the traditional form of the syllabary (not an alphabet) is here:

What if the Hiragana were 3-Dimensional?

Another reason for a Japanese alphabet is the mental confusion and stress on the eyes when reading Chinese kanji characters.

Japanese Children's Understanding of Notational Systems
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022096512001427?via=ihub
'....Bilingual children whose tow languages use different notational systems, such as English and Chinese as well as those whose languages both use alphabets such as English and French establish stable word-referent relationships earlier than their monolingual counterparts.
....
The understanding of stable symbol-referent relationships seems to develop independently of the understanding of symbol-sound relationships....The notational systems of Japanese are a good tool for investigating the relationship of symbol-referent / symbol-sound relationships because Japanese is written as a combination of multiple notational systems, principally hiragana and kanji; young Japanese children easily acquire the stable symbol-sound relationship in hiragana but not in kanji.'

Thus in the future, any word in any language will have a musical counterpart for use as a study/memory aid, etc.

MIles Davis's Decoy compares with the sound of amino acid music. In Decoy, Davis allows the rest of the group to take the track to its end, with interesting sax and synth lines including what sounds like a synth-over-guitar sequence:

A didj line is possible in place of, or in accompaniment to the bass line:

The above transcription can be converted to amino acid sheet music according to the chart at the beginning of this thread. We are now ready to explore some possibilities on a cancer trajectory:

'....with the extracellular part of human frizzled 8 receptor fused to a human IgG1 Fc fragment that binds Wnt ligands....'

The experimenter can go to the Frizzled 8 page at Uniprot to study the amino acid sequences and note that the transcription for Decoy mentions varying the chord changes at certain points, which compare with experimental chords placed at certain points in the Frizzled sequence.

Note that the octave key line is the sheet music line. Tempo, time signatures, and other nuances are yet to be developed, experimenters can use their own ideas. Notes in the lower register are transcribed below the sheet-music line, those above represent the upper register. Because some notes occur as doubles within a register, either a capitalized letter or a dot will suffice to designate which one it is.

If a chimpanzee placed its lips on a sax and blew into it without pressing any keys, the note that would be played is a concert B. This concert B is the only truly problematic note for the electric sax or didgeridoo. If it is to be played on the synth from the electric sax or didj, it must have its own special switch, which can be pressed with a finger, foot, elbow, etc. Rapid production of concert Bs implicates an up-and-down mechanism, which is especially adaptable to the toe of the foot (up-and-down rather than sideways).

On the Decoy trajectory, Frizzled 8 contains an unusual number of glycines (concert A in the upper register), which may attest to its ancient origins.
 
A serious and wailing violin, all this Yanni video lacks is a Chris Potter saxophone solo:

Richard Pinhas was a Deleuzian from the beginning and Le Voyageur (O Ardarilho) (youtube) contains some original photography of Paris '68, whereas more recent works provide experimental and complex rhythm lines for interesting amino acid sequence-didj-synth-sax over-dubbing:

Heldon -- Les Soucoupes volants vertes
 
This Chris Potter solo shows the sheet music as it is being played. Amino acid sheet music can replace it with letters of the English alphabet accompanied by other symbols for the timing. The eye only moves along one reading line, eliminating the need for four other lines of the traditional musical staff:

W G L L P
Octave key reading Line--------------
F Q V K ....etc.


Chris Potter on Stella
 
Reading from left to right, the letters F Q V K would occur past the sequence in the top of the line, not under it, which could be transcribed to Potter's melody line in the video. Rather than the eye doing the work of searching across space for the recognition of the note to play next, it would already be represented by the amino acid letter (known by heart) along the octave key reading line, as is done when reading words in an English text.
