Cymatics – Visualizing Sound
There is a somewhat recent TED talk we’ve come across and been intrigued by recently. The talk by Evan Grant is on cymatics: the visualization of sound waves, or modal phenomena. This is something that could be used by artists and engineers to create amazingly unified image-music performances.
Update: see comments section for a link to the art, machinery and people involved with the CymaScope

Most of the images presented by Evan at TED were created by Erik Larson in the USA and myself in the UK, using the CymaScope, a new scientific instrument we have developed. Our web site shows some of the many ways the emergent science of cymatics can be applied, covering topics from Astroseismology to Zoology. Our web shop offers cymatic art; all sales help support cymatic research. John Stuart Reid/ http://www.cymascope.com
