This paper presents a platform that enables composers to generate unique auditory representations of real-time particle collision data from the ATLAS experiment at CERN. An associated web page then enables the public to listen to real-time experimental data through the aesthetic lens of selected artists. The current tool is built in collaboration with the ATLAS Outreach team and is designed to increase public engagement in high energy physics by exposing the data through a novel interaction mode. More broadly, it is part of a larger vision to better harness audio as a medium to interact with big data from ever more prevalent real-time sensors.
