Description of the Project: 
1. Musical notes for each theme were determined by the presenter's physical DNA.
2. Themes were composed using ONLY THOSE NOTES.
3. Musical style was based on presenter’s musical taste and the tone of their show.
4. Each Classic FM presenter introduced their personal DNA theme live on air and continued to use it within each subsequent show. E.G during the opening introduction, as a filler between tracks, or as a lead in to a news bulletin.
5. Whenever the station made a promo for a specific show, they would use the relevant DNA musical theme.
6. The Classic FM themes were all linked together by a common phrase, used at the end of each piece.
