WAVES — Visualizing sound through cymatics and resonant frequencies | Phenomena (4K)

Waves are all around us. As sound waves move through water and salt, they vibrate into geometric patterns that visualize the nature of waveforms.

Uncovering the geometric nature of soundwaves. This is visualized by directing sound waves through water and salt. The water rests in an upright facing speaker, and the salt rests on a high frequency mechanical wave driver. When the devices are activated with specific frequencies, the water and salt particles vibrate in synchronization with the soundwaves, forming incredible geometric patterns.

Phenomena fuses art and science together to explore naturally occurring patterns, and the fundamental forces of nature that create them, to take us on an ambitious, innovative, and psychedelic journey through the fabric of the universe. Filmmaker Josef Gatti recreates nine ‘phenomena’ to produce mesmerizing art films, which are then paired with an original music score by Kim Moyes from Australian dance music duo The Presets. #PhenomenaTV

In India, there is an ancient Vitthal Temple in Hampi, Karnataka. It has musical pillars and cymatics patterns carved on the roof of the temple.

Waves aren't a thing, waves are what things do~

Dumb science is when you replace the actual tones causing those patters with a soundtrack. The iview video has no explanation text over the course of video, it's basically a 30 min screen-saver.

Unfortunately the patterns are unrelated to the sounds after the intro. Admittedly a conventional song cannot produce such patterns but I would like to hear the drones which produce each one. They should release a companion video with the actual sounds.

Really missed an opportunity to play the sounds that generated the waves.

[Philomats]

Wow. That was mind blowing. It seems sound waves are the foundation of life.

[andrejsr]

Imagine water level being vacuum energy and some unknown music creating ever changing waves, that apprear to us at interference points as particles popping in and out of existence.

[anyoneanyone]

This would have been better if they would have just kept the real sounds used to get those shapes

Very good! Very well done! Premium voice over and so nice that it is only in the beginning and the rest of the film speaks for itself; wonderful! Very beautiful camera work and lightening and i really like the editing a lot, too. Especially the pattern creation at the end ... mind opening ... no further explanation necessary; thanks so much for creating and sharing this amazingly beautiful and inspiring piece of art! Sensitive choice of music as well ... an overall 10 of 10! Great work! The only thing i personally was missing were some inserts with the information about the frequencies ... but this is me, too much of a perfectionist and back into the 432 Hz studies :)

I wish I could like it a thousand times

[huserinminor]

This made me tear up fr. I LOVE SOUND!!
(And yes, I know that the patterns don't correspond with the sick soundtrack lol)

[sosig]

It looks like a cell that is becoming more in focus

[guyt-kx]

My question is how these vibrations would affect our body in general and our brain in particular???

[cosmiccrunch]

Thank you so much for this! What a beautiful experience of Self! ...and the Work goes on.

I truly believe man kind is still in it's infancy as far as our abilities to tap into the potential our minds are capable of. I believe there are senses that allow us to sense and use the energy fields all around us. Once we do that, time and space will become a tool for movement, communication and who knows what else. Everything in the universe is connected by energy and works harmoniously to create balance and sustainability.

[emered-williams]

if color is frequency of light, and we can visualize the frequency of sound, how many other wavelengths can we convert to a visual understanding?

[karlstenator]

Banger beat happening here!!! Love it.

EDIT: OMG, The Presets!!! It's no wonder I've been cranking it!

[e.stgo.]

I would like to see healing frequencies waves forms. That would be interesting. 👍👍🇵🇷👍👍

[liahmu]

This amazing! I can imagine how the cells of my body vibrates and create a frequency depending of what my body perceives form the environment as well the food I ingest. But I wonder about the patterns my own voice can create? Also, by seen this amazing video, is the 432 Hz music can have a different pattern with lets say 440Hz music? Thank you so much!

[EricPham-grpg]

Is that what magician used in performance ? Possible? And amorphous reaction and transformation too but at what energy and rate of freshing and so the alchemist is real so passion and compasion and kindness and funiness are worthwhile
