Fundamental modes of vibration

Here is another fascinating insight into how sound can affect the physical world. At the weekend I came across a post from the website Science Friday. Using just a metal plate, a bucket of sand and different pitches of a sine wave – all sorts of incredible shapes can form.

Recently, I’ve been getting more interested in digital art – in particular, generative art. A talented friend of mine, Justin Windle, runs his Soulwire blog which demonstrates generative art to a very high quality. After coming across this Science Friday video, it’s interesting how, with just sound and sand, mother nature can come up with it’s own breathtaking generative art too.

Check the actual video of this here.
