The Radioactive Orchestra/KL
We were asked by Kollektivet Livet to help them make a web based implementation of a project they had been working on, called The Radioactive Orchestra. The goal was to interpret radioactive decay musically. More specifically, melodies were created by translating what happens in the atomic nucleus during its journey from an excited nuclear state down to its ground state.
In this process a single gamma photon is released for every step of energy loss. We let the photon play a note where the energy of the photon is represented by the pitch of the note. This effect is also manifested visually through rays coming out of an atomic nucleus.
The musical concept was originally made by Ideofon and we used the ability in Flash Player 10 to natively and dynamically generate sound waves.
The project have since been featured on Engadget and Fox News among other news outlets.
