CYMATICS: Science Vs. Music 'Cymatics' is the science of visualizing audio frequencies. All of the experiments are real. Read about how it was made and the science behind the visuals

Amazing Music Video Shows How Sound Affects Matter

For all you nerds out there, and honestly his music his pretty damn interesting as well.  Plus it's a vimeo staff pick, so that should be reason enough to check it out. The first few minutes introducing each experiment are already enthralling, but wait until the the chain mail suit and giant tesla coil come out...

From Nigel Stanford’s (the composer) website:

The most unusual part of making Cymatics was the fact that the music was written after the video was filmed. 

In 1999 I watched a documentary on 'Synesthesia' - a disorder that effects the audio and visual functions of the brain. People with the disorder hear a sound when they see bright colors, or see a color when they hear various sounds. I don't have it (I don't think), but I have always felt that bass frequencies are red, and treble frequencies are white.

This got me thinking that it would be cool to make a music video where every time a sound plays, you see a corresponding visual element. Many years later, I saw some videos about Cymatics - the science of visualizing audio frequencies, and the idea for the video was born.  In 2013, I approached my friend Shahir Daud, a talented film director working in New York, and asked him if he was interested in collaborating on the video with me. I don't think he really knew what I was talking about, but happily he said yes, and in July 2013 we started researching the experiments and buying bits and pieces online.
