Breaking News: New startup Suspension has received Series A funding for a plan to reinvigorate and revolutionize the world of classical music and opera.

At the Suspension TechCrunch presentation, Jones began casually, “I was so surprised to discover that all the music Ava plays on her viola is by dead composers.” (Artistic advisor Mason Bates seemed to be glowering at this point.) “So,” Jones continued, “what if they… weren’t dead?”

How? The company has already sequenced the composer’s DNA and plans to have a baby Puccini by the end of 2016.
