As the music of gravitational waves

The discovery of gravitational waves - one of the most important events in the world of science. No wonder that now the data is somehow trying to process hundreds of research groups around the world. They use not only the dry language of numbers.

The group leader Penguin Cafe, British composer Arthur Jeffs (Arthur Jeffes) and astrophysics NASA most Nissanka (Samaya Nissanke) processed data obtained by using the interferometer LIGO, And made ripples in space-time musical composition titled Black Hole 5.0. The algorithm for creating the composition rather prosaic: musician and scholar examined relation to the gravitational wave length period of oscillation (amplitude response) and recorded around it own melody sound, something similar to a cold gloomy dub.

Numerical characteristics of wave appeared when a collision of two black holes, converted into a number Jeffs MIDI-samples (of course, with the increase in frequency of the sound, or the human ear would not have been able to take them). From this material a musician and created an original remix of sounds in space Logic.

This is not the first unusual creation Jeffs. In 2012 he worked French designer Nelly Ben Hayon (Nelly Ben Hayoun) on transforming the narrowband radio sounds in music composition, and now launched a new project to transform the mathematical description of the exoplanets in music.
