About Molecular Jig
Goals
$201.44 of $300 per month
Soundtrack release. Music is part of my mission: Molecules can't do their jig without it and I think familiar, approachable music will make biochemistry feel fun and approachable. Tom Miller is our Music and Sound master, and his work is famous in the MAGFest/8bit improv world.
