Acoustic CymaScope tutorial

How to make an acoustic CymaScope--a magical way to explore cymatics, for around $20! First shown on John Stuart Reid’s foundational course on the Shift Network, this simple Acoustic CymaScope provides a wonderful introduction to the magical qualities of cymatics: from formlessness, comes form, just add sound! In this 10-minute tutorial, acoustic-physics scientist, John Stuart Reid, demonstrates how to make a simple Acoustic CymaScope, with components that cost under $20. Within the heart of all matter on earth, complex webs of energy are woven layer upon layer, frequency upon frequency. These delicate traceries form all solid matter: people, flora and fauna and even rocks and pebbles. No matter can exist without vibration and almost all matter creates sound as a natural function of the inelastic collisions that constantly occur between atoms or molecules. Your Acoustic CymaScope will allow you to see matter move from formlessness-to-form on the sensitive latex memb
