The God Particle





Program Notes:

The God Particle, aka the Higgs Boson, is a theoretical elementary particle that has yet to be discovered.  As of now, it exists as a gap in the 'Standard Model' of particle physics.  The only way to observe the elusive God Particle is to accelerate subatomic particles close to the speed of light and smash them together using particle colliders.  

Some [misinformed] people think that colliding particles at the energies required to find the Higgs Boson will cause an apocalypse; some think it will result in a black hole that will engulf the solar system.  Others even believe that God will peak his face out from behind the celestial curtains.     

The work begins as an abstract audio realization of a circular particle accelerator culminating into a massive collision.  The piece then takes on a false narrative, consisting of black holes and sonic representations of God himself.
