Following up on the recent special by the Discovery Channel on the Davinci Code and Cymatics inside the Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland, here is a video created by Stuart Mitchell, the composer who translated the symbols on the “cubes” into music.
The cubes shown in the video have symbols carved into them which cymatics experts believe to be cymatics images, which would mean that there is a piece of music “encoded” into the arches in the Rosslyn Chapel.
As you can see in this recent documentary by the Discovery Channel, cymatics expert John Stuart Reid used his scientific laboratory cymatics equipment to confirm that the cymatics tones that Mitchell re-created using the shapes on the cubes are indeed correct.
The Rosslyn Chapel is also famous because it held an important place in The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown, and in fact was used as a location for the filming of the movie The DaVinci Code starring Tom Hanks in 2006.

P.S. You can build a cymatics voicebox to see your voice or any piece of music, using these step-by-step blueprints. Includes 10 step video and PDF instructions. Time: about 60 minutes.

Why don’t you engrave the cube patterns on a thin plate and use it instead of a plain surface?

This video presentation is an interesting comparison made between the patterns produced by certain pitches and frequencies in Cymatics and the symbols on the faces of the cubes. Tommy’s assigned note of the pitch can be heard in the voices of the choir as it merges with the pitch of the cymatics demonstration. If you listen closely to the pitch of the oscillator (humming the pitch to yourself) you will hear the first note of the choir and its relevant cube, are the same.

Love it.
