If you’ve always wanted to dance in the glow of an oscilloscope, you’ll want to keep August 23 open! That’s when Assistant Professor Larry Lee and Bains Professor Steve Johnston bring their fusion of physics and electronic music to Scruffy City Hall.

Johnston kicks things off at 9 pm with his DJ mastery via Science & Reason, a mix of techno, dance, and house music sure to put everyone in motion. Lee picks up the beat at 10 pm with ColliderScope, where audio waveforms paint images from the scientific world of CERN and sound waves dance across oscilloscope screens. (These humble lab workhouses typically display electrical signals and fluctuations, but here they show off their fun side and illuminate the dance floor.) Johnston will wrap up this physics + music celebration with a second set beginning at 11 pm.

Scruffy City Hall is located at 32 Market Square in Downtown Knoxville and there are lots of parking options. Please note the venue is for patrons age 21 or older.

Johnston and Lee brought energy and motion to music last fall when Harmonic Motion played a starring role in Quantum Canvases, a celebration of arts, humanities, and physics and how they intersect.
