As discussed in class last week, Cymatics is the process of viewing sound. Its awesome how sound moving through an object can show frequency patterns. Just like with many other lessons this semester, this was completely new to me. The process starts by putting sand or other small grain-like substance on a metal surface, then run frequencies through the metal to reveal sound designs/ patterns.
The possibilities are endless for what this type process could be used for. One that come to mind for me could be a visualizer for the next itunes or music player. You play the the current song through the metal surface and the sand moves to the music. Another use could be showing people who cannot hear what a specific frequency looks like.
