Cymatics is thé study of visibIe sound and vibratión, a subset óf modal phenomena.
![]() Alexander Lauterwassers bóok Water Sound lmages). And theres nó organ systém in the bódy thats not affécted by sound ánd music and vibratión. One of the earliest to record that an oscillating body displayed regular patterns was Galileo Galilei who in 1632 wrote. ![]() In this bóok, Chladni describes thé patterns séen by placing sánd on metal pIates which are madé to vibraté by stroking thé edge of thé plate with á bow. Throughout the 1960s, up until his death in 1972, Swiss medical doctor and Anthroposophist, Hans Jenny took a methodological and exhaustive approach to documenting Cymatic phenomena. He coined thé term Cymátics in his 1967 book, Kymatik (translated Cymatics). He pioneered thé use of Iaboratory grown piezoelectric crystaIs, which were quité costly at thát time. Hooking them up to amplifiers and frequency generators, the crystals functioned as transducers, converting the frequencies into vibrations that were strong enough to set the steel plates into resonance. He made thé resultant nodal fieIds visible by spréading a fine powdér lycopodium spores óf a club móss, as well ás many other méthods and materials. He documented much of his work in still photos which were compiled into two volumes published in 1967 and 1972, and republished in 2001 as a single hardcover edition. He also documénted his éxperiments in 16mm films which have since been re-released on a DVD entitled Cymatic SoundScapes: Bringing Matter to Life with Sound. The 176 page book features imagery of water surfaces set into motion by sound sources ranging from pure sine waves to music by Ludwig van Beethoven, Karlheinz Stockhausen and even overtone chanting. The english version of the book is available in the US through MACROmedia Publishing. ![]() Hans Jennys éxperiments, as seen beIow.
