Cymatics is the study of visible sound and vibration, a subset of modal phenomena. Typically the surface of a plate, diaphragm, or membrane is vibrated, and regions of maximum and minimum displacement are made visible in a thin coating of particles, paste, or liquid. Different patterns emerge in the excitatory medium depending on the geometry of the plate and the driving frequency.
This continuing study is based on the same modal phenomena using frequency algorithms to drive the wave patterns created with Processing. The sine waves are generated based on mouse position which in turn creates the frequency patterns displayed in realtime.
