What is Neutronica?

Welcome to this cozy little place of fuzzy logic and other things that might provoke the world of civil engineers and scientists where I now have so many wonderful friends and colleagues. What is Neutronica? Could it be the noise between the neutrons, the acoustic music of microcosmos (yes, Bela Bartok..), “new electronica” or just playing with arts and science in various ways? Neutronica will among other things generate a soundtrack for ESS that the audience will be able to hear at the premiere of our planned Neutron Music Festival under the direction of the famous trumpet player Håkan Hardenberger.
You should contribute! There is a whole world of creative musicians, composers and artists among the researchers and scientists that will benefit from the ESS. Coming from the school of arts, I also know a lot of artists who dig nature science and other existential triggers that seeks the answer to our lives. You are all welcome to contribute with material to this blog and to develop the concept and artform of Neutronica.
Personally, what attracts me to the arts is what attracts me to science: Innovation, the imaginative play and curiosity to find new dimensions, solutions to problems, or just having fun. I believe art and fuzzy logic is the birth of science.
In other words,
the aim of Neutronica and this blog is to explore and express the meaning of life!
Let’s begin..
