Visualizing Vibrations from Guerilla Science on Vimeo.
One of classical music's most famous pieces, Pachelbel's Canon, visualized through waves on a droplet of water.
In Visualizing Vibrations, the image of a block of colored lights is reflected in a drop of vibrating water. The soundtrack is both a musical accompaniment and, via a loudspeaker on which the water sits, is the source of the vibrations.
The patterns produced by the vibrations are known as Faraday Waves, and they have been the subject of intense and ongoing scientific research for over one hundred and fifty years. In the songs' quieter moments, the waves are calm and symmetric - with the steps between between dark light getting shorter, the higher the note. In its louder moments, the waves descends into chaos.
The piece is part of a larger SoundScapes Sculpture project produced by Guerilla Science, and funded by the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute.
