Recently a brief talk on Cymatics was given by Evan Grant. His presentation was based on research and documentation conducted by John Reid and Eric Larson, who have continued the investigation of cymatics begun in the 60’s by Hans Jenny.
The most exciting thing about this talk for me is that it was showcased on TED – which means that Cymatics will reach thousands more people through their already far-reaching network of listeners.
Watch the video, and also note the high level of interest in cymatics in the comments on the page.
One commentator wondered about the use of cymatics with people who cannot speak or hear in the usual way…
In fact, this is exactly what the Tonascope is used for, and has been for years – hearing impaired people look at the shapes formed on a Tonascope by voices saying letters, then are able to form sounds more precisely themselves by recreating the visual patterns.
You can learn how to build your own Tonascope (what I call a Cymatic Sounder) with 3 simple objects HERE
