sonification of the ATLAS experiment collision display from the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Here the sounds are produced from samples that I recorded from a Balinese gamelan, specifically, the two lowest gangsa instruments - the jegogan and the calung (aka jublag) from a 5-tone pelog gamelan expanded into 9 tones. the resulting 9-tone scale is close to a 9 tone equal temperament, but not quite...

If you want gamelan samples, try Soniccouture. Their pro level gamelan sample package is like $240, but there is a basic version available through Native Instruments for 70 bucks. It uses the Kontakt free player, so you don't need anything additional... just feed it MIDI.

Would I be able to recieve the samples you used? I would be using them simply for hobbyist musical purposes

thanks. I did the interpolation graphically using a jpeg of the particle trails from the CERN website. I used max/msp to trace circular paths around the image, then converted the resulting RGB values into note triggers for two sample-based instruments, which were also implemented in max/msp.

This is awesome. I wish I had the programming skills to interpolate data like this. I would like to use data from X-Ray Pulsar star systems.
