Origin cymatics

By John Stuart and Analiese Shandra ReidIntroductionCymatics is the study of sound and vibration made visible, typically on the surface of a plate, diaphragm or membrane. Direct ocular viewing of vibrations involves exciting inorganic matter such as particulate matter, pastes (both magnetic and non magnetic) and liquids under the influence of sound, although recent research has extended the range of media to include organic matter 1 and the range of viewing has been extended to include the light microscope.2The generic term for this field of science is the study of ‘modal phenomena, named ‘Cymatics’ by Hans Jenny, a Swiss medical doctor and a pioneer in this field. The word ‘Cymatics’ derives from the Greek ‘kuma’ meaning ‘billow’ or ‘wave,’ to describe the periodic effects that sound and vibration has on matter.The apparatus employed can be simple, such as a Chladni Plate (a flat brass plate excited by a violin bow) or advanced such as the CymaScope, a laboratory instrument co-invented by English acoustics engineer, John Stuart Reid and American design engineer, Erik Larson, that makes visible the inherent geometries within sound and music.Cymatics HistoryThe provenance of Cymatics can be traced back at least 1000 years to African tribes who used the taut skin of drums sprinkled with small grains to divine future events. 3 The drum is one of oldest known musical instruments 4 and the effects of sand on a vibrating drumhead have probably been known for millennia. Leonardo Da Vinci (b 1452 d 1519) noticed that vibrating a

Cymatics has just released Memory, a freeware vintage chorus plugin for Mac and Windows users.The inspiration for the plugin comes from the renowned guitar pedal Shallow Water, and it borrows its analog nature with subtle pitch fluctuations.Memory has a slick and modern-looking interface, with a handy visual representation of the effect in action in the top-right of the display.The Depth parameter controls the strength of the random modulation acting on the signal’s pitch. The more you turn it up, the more jarring results you can get out of this plugin.The Rate controls how often the random pitch fluctuations occur. If you’re after a more natural-sounding chorus effect, you want to set this to low percentage values.The aforementioned parameters work in tandem with the Smooth slider, which applies a smoothing effect to the random pitch fluctuation.The adjustable Noise slider lets you inject the desired amount of analogue-modelled noise into the signal. This is useful if you want to remove the noise from the equation and only stick with the “positive” aspects of analog equipment.Another distinctive feature of Cymatics Memory is an envelope-following low-pass filter.The Filter knob controls how strongly the envelope filter reacts to the incoming audio, while the Sensitivity knob defines the lowest frequency of the filter in a range between 10 Hz to 4Khz.The Highpass switch activates a fixed highpass filter for removing unwanted bass frequencies that can be redundant.The Double switch engages two independent delay lines if you want to get lush, spacious sounds.Finally, you can access the usual suspects of Input Gain, Output Gain, and Mix parameters.Input and Output Gain have a range of -36 dB up to +36 dB, which is quite extreme.Memory comes with 16 factory presets that showcase some creative applications of the effect, with the added possibility of saving your own.The interface can’t be manually resized, but you can choose between three different sizes: Small, Medium, and Large.Overall, Memory has a nice, vibe-inducing effect, following the trend of Lo-Fi-inspired plugins. To download it, you will need to fill out a short form and subscribe to the Cymatics newsletter.If you like analog chorusing, check

Audible sound. CymaGlyph images, created on the CymaScope, are considered to be analogs of sound and music since the geometries they contain represent mathematical correlates of the musical pitches that caused the pattern to form on the instrument’s membrane.One of the many potential applications being explored for the CymaScope is the decipherment of dolphin language in collaboration with SpeakDolphin.com, a Florida-based organization formed for this purpose.
