In August 2015, the band was the first act invited to perform improvisational site-specific noise music at CERN ‘s Large Hadron Collider , as part of the Ex/Noise/CERN project, founded by particle physicist James Beacham , who stated, “Musical curiosity is similar to scientific curiosity and, on a personal level, Deerhoof has inspired me as much as Einstein”. The resulting film of the project quickly became one of the top ten most-watched videos ever produced by CERN and received wide coverage in the music, art, and science press, as well as positive responses from notable artists, musicians, and writers.
