ajna Posted August 16, 2014 hey guys,just playing around with some cymatics experiments at home to show my kidthought some might dig itusing a synth through an amp, with sand on drum skinsorry for the terrible video quality, I think the iphone kept trying to refocus as it moved 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mutant Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) awesome and inspiring! well done! I has seen some such stuff in water too.. I suppose you did as easy as play the synth in high volume and let the drum skin resonate to the speakers in the room? man there's some great potential in there... sometimes I wish I had 2 lifes or 10 for that matter.. I had done some nice experimental shit recording video through the microscope... now I thought about using the cumitic experiment with water ,then put a microscope to scan it...

ajna Posted August 20, 2014 yeah im yet to find a good (simple) method to get interesting results in water but i'll work it out someday this was an up-turned amp with drum on top playing synth at high volume one day i'll make an apparatus specifically for this purpose to improve the results, keeping an eye out for old speakers at the dump... I could def use a few more lives to play also Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nibbana Posted September 4, 2014 Damnnn that was cool! I love how my brain seems to see all these different images within the patterns. Like at first I thought I was seeing a human head, then a monkey head, then an ear and then a brain. Of course I know it's nothing really, but still bloody cool! I saw a cool video before of someone doing it with a cornstarch and water mix, if you've done that experiment before... where if you leave the solution alone it's all watery but once you try to compress it or exert some sudden force unto it, it gets thick and putty-like almost instantly. Either way, just a suggestion for you try if you like cymatics, the cornstarch and water thing could be cool for the kids to play with as well Soup~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ajna Posted September 6, 2014 i have seen the cornstarch vid, really cool hey. if i ever have cornstarch in the house i'll try it out, apparently you gotta get the water:cs ratio just right for that effect very cool article about saturn's hexagon, hadnt heard about that before here's another short clip cym2.MOV cheers cym2.MOV cym2.MOV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
