Just chatting with Tau and Chriwi, I noticed how much of LHC terminology sounds similar to music terminology, and I thought..... the beam does about 11Khz, so if you used that as a Key (maybe a couple of octaves down) , and used all the other LHC numbers as inputs/harmonies/etc.......could some VERY clever person come up with a method of turning all these numbers into live music?
That would be such a Buzz!!!! What would a Higgs boson sound like?
I would love to try it but I don't have the knowledge...dammit.

Re: Music
sonification - the technique of making audible sound from data, whether for the purpose of creating an auditory display or music. I've been thinking of trying this with accelerator data myself...
Re: Music
Cool idea! I think you could even get the BPM data directly and listen to it.
I bet with our built-in frequency processor (called "ear") we could easily hear the tunes, and probably hear problems such as the hump. The 11kHz screech might have to be filtered out though; that may be too painful.

A first try: http://home.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/~mrongen/music.html
EDIT: It should play as background music. The original file is here: http://home.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/~mro ... _Music.mid
EDIT2: I have changed it to a mp3 file so that everyone can open it. But this might it slightly bigger 200kb -> 20 Mb :S

Re: Music
ah, there's no link to the sound file...
EDIT: aha! I'm not set up to hear MIDI playback directly from a web site at the moment...

Re: Music
Sounds like a great idea, but why don't you post it on youtube? I have some problems playing it on linux (shame on me...)

I've been working on sonification of the atlas live display images. Here's a preliminary clip:

and going more in a glitch-hop direction:
