Cymatics

I've always had a fascination with sounds and the vibrations they produce. Recently I researched cymatics, which is the study of visible sound and vibration, usually on the surface of a plate, diaphragm or membrane. Seeings these vibrations involves using sound to excite media often in the form of particles, pastes and liquids. I saw a post where an interaction sound station was created and each player could make musical sounds that in turn created an ensemble. The first video I'm posting shows how cymatics works. The second is a speech by creative technologist Evan Grant who explores the data of sound, inherent in nature, through cymatics. He studied scientists and inventors, such as Galileo, Da Vinci, and Chladni who created the first working cymatic model. Check it out. I though it was cool.
