About Songs From The Cosmos feat. Lomond Campbell and David Mahon

Listed Under Music Events / Film Events

Deep in the Cosmos, powerful explosions, or supernovae, create vast numbers of highly energetic subatomic particles. These ‘cosmic rays’ travel through the expanse of space at close to light speed until they collide with a celestial object… such as Earth. When this impact occurs, they interact with atoms in the upper atmosphere sparking a shower of other particles that cascade towards sea level. One of these is the hero of our story… the muon.

Join University of Glasgow nuclear physicist David Mahon and BAFTA-winning artist and musician Lomond Campbell - fresh from his sold out 5* Edinburgh Festival Fringe show, MŮO - as they take you on a captivating journey that celebrates the science and sounds of the muon. From their superhero-like ability to look deep inside and 3D image some of the most enigmatic structures on the planet to the sonic wizardry of Lomond’s musical instrument masterpiece, the muonophone, you’ll see and hear the power of the Universe through its humble messenger, the muon.

Following this opening performance The Muonophone - the singular instrument that translates atmospheric radiation into immersive sound and light - will be on display as an installation at the ARC until Friday 17 April.

This event is part of the 2026 Spring Fling: About Time.
