During the whirlwind introduction, Fontana spent some time at the starting point of the LHC. There, atoms of hydrogen are stripped of their electrons so only positively charged protons remain. An electric field begins to accelerate the protons while a series of magnets focus them into a beam.
Fontana recorded the sounds. The popping, tapping dance beat of the protons’ regular release is underlaid with the hiss of cooling water and the heavy clang of the magnets charging and discharging.
Bill Fontana neemt geluiden op van de Large Hardon Collider. Techno snobs als ondergetekende denken meteen: is de fantasie niet mooier dan de realiteit?
