Resonance: Music from the Large Hadron Collider

Before this blog moved to the Guardian I was rash enough to put music on it occasionally. Some of it even mine. Anyway, now it's for charity, so here goes. The ATLAS collaboration have made a CD (and DVD). Apparently the idea came out of the party we had when we first got beam in the machine, though I only got involved much later. All I do is play some jangly guitar on a great song by the D'Anglerz . This minimal contribution is a good thing, as generally I am outclassed by some excellent musicians and high-quality production. You can get song snippets and more information on the whole project here . It will be released on 6 December, it's for charity, and I have a top celebrity physicist friend with a bit of professional musical experience who will be independently reviewing it on these very webpages for you soon. So don't buy all your Christmas presents just yet. And if you just can't wait... here's the ATLAS boogie by the Canettes (give it a few moments to get going). Plus Geek Pop of course has a distinguished pedigree, some of it involving ATLAS physicists. And there is always the inimitable Alpinekat , on the DVD special. But don't ask me why the Guardian put a picture of CMS instead of ATLAS on their story about this the other day ... :)
