| A (partial) ring of colliding blocks and sound generating pieces of metal, this bit of noise was inspired by Allen Bukoff’s "Danger Music 2008." |

I wanted to make a piece that made as much noise as possible and had the potential to fall on somebody (the 'danger' part). Just as I was making a few notes on this (and deciding glass should probably be avoided) |
 |
| the Large Hadron Collider at CERN came online (10Sept2008) |
 |

| - an ongoing fascination. |

| So it just seemed to make sense that this noise piece needed to be about collisions and the potential for particle smashing. |
