Video&Discussion: Cymatics- The Science of Making Sound Waves Visible
All Tuesday evening events
at RVML are free admission!
Video Description:
Cymatics is "the science of making sound waves visible" and if you've never seen these mesmerizing images before, you're in for a real treat.
We're going to watch portions of two videos about Cymatics.
The first is called "Cymatic Soundscapes" which features the vibrating sand-table experiments done by Swiss physician Dr. Hans Jenny. The stunning array of figures and flowing patterns seen in this program portray actual physical phenomena - not computer simulations - showing the effect of sound over matter! Watch as complex and intricate forms, often resembling living organisms, arise from inert powders, pastes and liquids, solely through the influence of sound. (28 minutes. 1986)
The second video is called "Of Sound Mind and Body - Music and Vibrational Healing". It is the first in a series of programs exploring the myriad ways in which music, sound and vibration influence every aspect of our being. Orchestrating the talents of world-class artists, performers, musicians, scientists, and healers; this program conveys a wealth of detailed information, specific enough to serve as an educational tool for health-care professionals, music therapists, and body-workers; yet it also presents many practical and enjoyable exercises to assist you in enhancing your own well-being and effectiveness in our increasingly noisy and chaotic world. The dramatic and visual content of this award-winning video will fascinate and inspire viewers regardless of their level of familiarity with the subject. (Approx. 30 minutes. 1992)
