Cymatics: The Beauty Of Sound, Light, And The Vibrational Dance Between Form...

in #science6 years ago (edited)

What an amazing universe this is...

Such an infinite variation of forms the creative unfolds out of, through, and into.

Two of our human beings' most favorite: sound and sight. Music and visual design.

And perhaps yet even more fascinating, though rarely explored... the intersection between the two, the interplay of sound and physical form, the expressive dynamic of transmutation between vibrational manifestions as our perceptive capabilities translates them.

Or to summarize into a single word:

Cymatics.

Is there a connection between sound, vibrations and physical reality? Yes, and it is called Cymatics.

Cymatics, the study of wave phenomena, is a science pioneered by Swiss medical doctor and natural scientist, Hans Jenny (1904-1972). It is derived from the Greek 'kyma' meaning wave and 'ta kymatica 'meaning' matters pertaining to waves.

In 1967 Dr. Hans Jenny published a book titled Cymatics. Inspired by systems theory, the work of Ernst Chladni, and his medical practice, Jenny began an investigation of periodic phenomena but especially the visual display of sound. He conducted experiments animating inert powders, pastes, and liquids into life-like, flowing forms, which mirrored patterns found throughout nature, art and architecture. All of these patterns were created using pure tones (simple sine wave vibrations) within the audible range. He was able to create a physical representation of vibration, or how sound manifests into form through the medium of various materials.

His fascinating work offers profound insights into both the physical sciences and esoteric philosophies. It illustrates the very principles which inspired the ancient Greek philosophers.

Of course, the literary explanation is one thing. Yet, to see these phenomena in action are another.

And thus...

This is perhaps one of the most amazing visual demonstrations available:



Another cool one:



And this one in particularly is quite amazing, with it's extremely high-quality CymaScope captures:



Sure enough, while these above examples deal more in the physical forms generated through cymatics experiments, there are also correlations between sound and color.

Even some famous musicians, such as Kanye West and Pharrell Williams, have been known to experience a type of synesthesia, where they see certain colors when hearing specific sounds.

Nicola Tesla has been quoted many times, for his conviction in the secrets of the universe being encoded into the laws of vibration - music being among them:

Nikola Tesla imagined the world in musical terms, describing the cosmos as a ‘symphony of alternating currents’ that works on principles of vibration and resonance, with its ‘harmonies being played on a scale of electrical vibrations across a vast range of octaves’. ~source

As had Edgar Cayce, also...

One other cool video on the topic...

This one, it's unclear as to how the phenomena was constructed and what exactly the link is between the conversion of sound into it's holographic counterpart - i.e. whether there is a direct mathematical correspondence between the forms and colors generated, or it was merely the arbitrary effect of a random algorithm.

Nonetheless, it's pretty friggin' awesome to watch, and expands the mind to the possibilities within these vibrational-alchemical worlds...



Many wonders, undoubtedly.

May these astoundingly beautiful videos provide some inspiration, and deepen your appreciation into the magic of nature's design.

Bless. 🙏

Hii @rok-sivante your music is very cool my friend !
I like your style !

In summary it is a yardstick
It determines the beginning and the end of those paremeters. Nice piece

wow wow wow...watching the videos made me feel as if i was in some other world. It bring sort of satisfactory feeling.Its been an amazing and a whole new experience . Didn't know much about cymatics but now i do. Thanks for opening up our minds and expanding our knowledge. Wow...

Wish you all the best my friend @rok-sivante
That a good science , and your music is very very cool my frien !

Our bodies are one of the best Resonant Cavities. Perfect for performing Harmonies.

It's amazing @rok-sivante, I do not really understand about music, but looking at your video, I really like it and enjoy it 😊

Cymatics are so cool, that last video was awesome, it's like showing us a visual of what we feel, the shape of the sound hitting us, so interesting to think about.

Have you seen how they get sound to levitate small objects?

I've seen a few of those types, yeah. those would fit in this pack nicely too...

Thanks for the post, left you an upvote🤟

amazing, what your a teacher ?

I wouldn't call myself that. lol.

though in a sense, we're all teachers - and we're all students... :-)

okay thanks @rok-sivante, but this is very useful for science. one word that I can learn from someone then he already I consider my teacher. and you are my teacher.
Please share name your DISCORD

I'm not on Discord yet. :-)

how do I communicate with you, do you have a steemit chat account ?.

Just here on Steemit in comments best for now.

advice from me, how about we make one discord for @rok-sivante support

beautiful music, honestly, I do not really understand music, I just enjoy your writing, and have gained some valuable knowledge from this paper, I have also explored some of the resources you have in your writing, good work, highly qualified content , the video is good, how do you make it that way?

Feedback: use periods to separate sentences.

This is very hard to read with all the commas, because you haven’t separated sentences, therefore it is unclear what you’re asking.

"Im sorry"

I mean the video is good, how to make that?

no idea.

ok, no problem.. thank you for responted my coment. :)

sir,@rok-sivante where i contact you .. ???

"Such an infinite variation of forms the creative unfolds out of, through, and into."

Sounds like Ricky and Morty lol.

Oh yeah! It's really a fascinating sight and sound. Their joint action is amazing. People are amazingly designed. He gets pleasure from the sound, from what I have seen, from the sense of touch. It is indeed a miracle of the universe-our senses. We're so used to not thinking about it. And it's so unique! Man - the only creature on the planet that can get pleasure from exposure to their senses. And on this built all in our civilization. Wherever we went - we're going to get a treat. Beautiful buildings, nature, music, paintings, food - all this is aimed at making us feel pleasure, so that we get happiness.

This was all absolutely awesome to look at and to read about! I'm blown away...

This is some dope part of Sound Engineering, a Class i was suppose to take many years back...

Awesome post. Do you know about the existence of synesthetes?
Some people - they are surprisingly many - can, listening to music, "see color", "taste" or "smell", "touch" musical phrases and images, although the ability to synthesize this should be attributed to a miracle rather than a symptom brain damage. Synaesthesia is an additional reaction of the brain to a certain stimulus. Someone sees the colors of the days of the week, of music, someone smells tactilely. Officially, synaesthesia is not considered a mental disorder and has been studied with varying success for about 200 years.

Even some famous musicians, such as Kanye West and Pharrell Williams, have been known to experience a type of synesthesia, where they see certain colors when hearing specific sounds.

According to the existing statistics of such people, 1%.
Taking into account the wave theory of odors for some people, music can have smells. I wonder how hip-hop and rap smells ? If you consider it is music. )))

I’d guess a lot of it probably like weed. Lol.

Hola que buenas imagenes y buen aporte, me acorde de la clase de dibujo, si puedes entra por mi blog para que me ayudes

excellent post, thanks for your work!

I remember watching an Ancient Aliens episode that was studying sound vibrations as a way to open up portals to another dimension.

I loved the patterns the sand would form on the drumset... maybe if you hit the right tones, Psy's gangnam style's 7 million views will come out of it (see the other post for reference :P)

Cheers big bro!

You are my idola...
