Particles was inspired by some of the early recordings made by (Quantizer) high energy physics experienced through real-time audio, which was part of the Atlas experiment.

Imagine a tiny subset of collision data from the ATLAS Detector being generated and streamed, in real-time, into a sonification engine.

The ATLAS Detector is one of two general-purpose detectors built along the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, a 27 km long machine that smashes together particles at amazingly high-energies. The ATLAS detector precisely measures the properties of the particles produced in these collisions, then a tiny subset of collision data is sent into a sonification engine creating amazing natural music.
