The work quotes an experiment by biochemist Stanley Miller from the 1950s: A "primordial soup" consisting of water, ammonia, methane, hydrogen and carbon monoxide is heated. The resulting processes produce essential building blocks of life, amino acids, which are analysed using a chromatograph. The data obtained are interpreted acoustically by an audio program.
