50 Particles in a Three-Dimensional Harmonic Potential

The “50 Particles in a Three-Dimensional Harmonic Potential” is a 10-minute composition derived from the algorithms explained in the “Sonification of Particle Systems via de Broglie’s Hypothesis.” The composition is broken up into 5 movements (listed below), each 120 seconds long. You do not have to be a physicist in order to enjoy the sounds of this strange recording but if you are, and want more information, visit Composer Scientist.

1. Gradual Introduction of 50 Particles into System; Tuning the Harmonic Potential; Adjusting the Observation Apparatus
2. Adding Viscous Fluid to Reveal the Restmass Spectrum
3. Sudden Increases in the Coulomb Potential of the Universe; Subsequent Oscillation of Potential Walls
4. Two-Generation Cascading Radioactive Decay
5. Reduction of the System Via Least Energies
