‘The London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) have commissioned Darren Bloom to compose “Dr Glaser’s Experiment”, a 20-minute piece to be premiered at the LSO Futures festival in 2016.

Dr Donald Glaser won the 1960 Nobel Prize in Physics for his invention of the bubble chamber used in subatomic particle physics. Filled with a superheated transparent liquid the bubble chamber detected electrically charged particles moving through it. Images taken in the bubble chamber look like ghost trails.

For the premier of “Dr Glaser’s Experiment” for LSO Futures, Darren is working in collaboration with animator Ignatz Johnson Higham to develop the commission as a distinctive aural-visual performance event. Ignatz will interpret the music through animation; using analogue processes that refer to the original imagery produced in the bubble chamber, he will explore how we can replicate it and synthesize it with the music.’
