LHC Sound
Sonification is the process of creating sounds that carry information. Musical compositions carry information in the sense that they often describe a place, a time or a feeling; the associations we make between sonic properties such as pitch and physical properties such as speed or size, come to us without effort.

Applying Color to the Real World
Spectra are complex because each spectrum holds a wide variety of information. For instance, there are many different mechanisms by which an object, like a star, can produce light – or using the technical term for light, electromagnetic radiation. Each of these mechanisms has a characteristic spectrum. Let’s look at a spectrum and examine each…

Colour and Sound
Sounds and colors are “metered measures?” It is something we have designed in order to account for communication of certain facts? While I present some quotations here for consideration, it is also in the quest to understand what illusion and reality can mean when not all parts of the consensus can agree on what constitute…
