RADIOACTIVE ORCHESTRA
A nice project from Stockholm at the junction of music, physics and new media.
RADIOACTIVE ORCHESTRA is an artistic, musical and pedagogical project about creating music using radioactive isotopes. In collaboration with nuclear physicists, media artist Kristofer Hagbard have created musical algorithms based on the scientists’ models of how radiation is emitted from various isotopes. Music producer Axel Boman created songs based on melodies and sounds from the software.

Really really nice!!! I’m biased since I studied physics before :-)
