Cymatics. A demonstration of sand forming cymatic patterns on a metal plate. Cymatics (from Ancient Greek: κῦμα, romanized : kŷma, lit. 'wave') is a subset of modal vibrational phenomena. The term was coined by Swiss physician Hans Jenny (1904–1972). Typically the surface of a plate, diaphragm, or membrane is vibrated, and regions of ...
Hans Jenny (cymatics) Hans Jenny (16 August 1904 in Basel – 23 June 1972 in Dornach) [ 1] was a Swiss physician and natural scientist who coined the term "cymatics" to describe acoustic effects of sound wave phenomena.
The properties of an idealized drumhead can be modeled by the vibrations of a circular membrane of uniform thickness, attached to a rigid frame. Due to the phenomenon of resonance, at certain vibration frequencies, its resonant frequencies, the membrane can store vibrational energy, the surface moving in a characteristic pattern of standing waves.

The Tablet of Shamash (also known as the Sun God Tablet or the Nabuapaliddina Tablet) is a stele recovered from the ancient Babylonian city of Sippar in southern Iraq in 1881; it is now a major piece in the British Museum 's ancient Middle East collection and is a visual attestation of Babylonian cosmology.
The term color organ refers to a tradition of mechanical devices built to represent sound and accompany music in a visual medium. The earliest created color organs were manual instruments based on the harpsichord design. By the 1900s they were electromechanical. In the early 20th century, a silent color organ tradition (Lumia) developed.
