Cymatic Soundscapes ● The Sacred Shape of Sound

Hans Jenny's "Experiments in animation with sound & vibration".

Cymatics is the study of sound and vibration made visible, typically on the surface of a plate, diaphragm or membrane.

Ernst Chladni was a scientist who studied acoustics in the 1800’s. He discovered a fascinating way to “see” sound waves by using a violin bow to vibrate a metal plate covered with a fine powder, such as salt. The vibrations cause the salt to settle into geometric patterns that show how the metal is vibrating. Different frequencies of vibration create different patterns.
