![]() ![]() In the video version of my PowerPoint presentation, I go into more detail than I do here. I like rabbit trails and I found some pretty deep ones during my cymatics research. I give you a full description in the video (at the end of this post). Notice, I say “supposedly” because there is evidence of cymatics at least 400 years before Chladni’s time. I believe that was some time in the late 1700’s. As you guessed, a Chladni plate is named after the man who supposedly first used this method of seeing shapes of musical notes. This is a “Chladni plate” after a tone has been resonated onto it (via an electronic device). ![]() For your viewing pleasure, here’s a picture with a beautiful sound formation. The best way to describe what this looks like is through pictures. The sand (or salt) moves around on the plate, eventually settling into a shape that’s representative of a resonating frequency. Up until recently, the only method of “seeing” sound was by taking a violin bow and rubbing it along a metal plate that was covered in sand. Simply put, the term “cymatics” was coined by Hans Jenny in the 1970’s as a way of describing how to visualize sound.
