It is an electroacoustic composition for 8 channel audio.

The title and idea of this music is inspired by the last novel of Albert Camus.  This philosophical novel applies a stream of conscious in a first person description talking about his judgement of confessions. Under the surface of confession and self analyze, the monolog narrater argued and derided all the ethical values.  In the mean time he also derided himself as one with all different annoyance and contradicts without guidance of ethics.

Le Chute

"In Praise of Inference" is a 60" Kyma-generated sound bite celebrating the subtle and sophisticated thought process that goes into inferring the existence of a short-lived particle based only on the traces it leaves behind. Everything you hear in the example is controlled or 'modulated' by data generated by computer simulations of proton collisions expected to produce Higgs bosons in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN.
Thanks to physicists Lily Asquith and Michael Krämer for the simulated data!  -Carla Scaletti
