Sound is an aspect of life, but is life an aspect of sound?

In this entertaining an imaginative presentation, acoustic physics pioneer, John Stuart Reid, discusses abiogenesis, the origin of life. Filmed in 2019 at the Water Conference, in Bad Soden, Germany, he hypothesises that the structuring and organising principle of pre-biotic compounds in the primordial oceans was sound. In this model, Faraday Wave (cymatic) patterns on the surface of microscopic bubbles were instrumental in creating the first protocells, from which more complex cells evolved.
