LHC data brought to life through music I first studied music at the Conservatorio di Torino when I was in high school but stopped during my university studies. I returned to music maybe 25 years later, when my kids started to play instruments (they play the trumpet and the saxophone). I felt great joy when I resumed playing and I discovered that I was still able to; my fingers were playing even without my conscious control of them. I soon joined the Thoiry harmony group (LEcho du Reculet) and then enrolled at the local municipal school to take flute lessons again. When I was on holiday this August, I was contacted by Paola Catapano, who asked if I wanted to take part in a musical project at CERN: would I play the flute in the CMS underground cavern to a melody based on data from the Higgs discovery. The “sonification” project was the brainchild of physicist and composer Domenico Vicinanza, who gave me precise instructions on the tune and melody. So, I knew what I had to do, but I did not know what exactly Domenico had in mind… Read about Chiara Mariottis experience on the Cylindrical Onion: cylindricalonion.web.cern.ch/blog/201410/lhc-data-brought-life-through-music #CERN #particlephysics #LHC #music #sonification #Higgs
