Cymatics – part 4 – Soundscapes – Experiments in animation with sound & vibration

CYMATICS, the study of wave phenomena, was pioneered by the Swiss physician , artist and natural scientist, Dr. Hans Jenny (1904 – 1972).

Inspired by Rudolf Steiner, Dr. Jenny’s penetrating observations of distinct types of patterns in nature led to these dramatic experiments animating inert substances with audible sound.
This film, made by Dr. Hans Jenny around the same time as Part III of this series, focuses on the polarities of seemingly static structures which are actually dynamic flowing forms. A stunning array of images evolves before your eyes, as audible sound excites inert piles of lycopodium dust and kaolin paste into processes which mimic atomic, geologic, biological, solar and even galactic shapes and movements.
These are actual physical phenomena. No computer-generated images are used.
“This documentary is truly awe-inspiring, detailing the inherent responsiveness of matter to its underlying vibrational tone. It is both visually fascinating, and immediately comprehensible to anyone with a n interest in the natural sciences.” — Jeff Volk, Series Producer
