    The Genetic Code: Introduction

    I am starting a series of episodes which will encompass a book reading exercise. The book chosen is the 1963 print of The Genetic Code by Issac Asimov. I somehow luckily possess the original edition in hardcopy, thanks to the junkyard I got access to, at one of the research institution I worked in. Hope it would be a cheerful experience!

    Misty Mountains Cold

    This is one of the most famous poems of J R R Tolkien from The Hobbit, part of which has been tuned with melody for the movie by Plan 9 and David Long. I have picked up the basic tone of the song and extended to first few verses of the poem. I have recorded it while it rained at my place, so as to keep the melancholy in place. Let me know if it added up to the whole experience.
