cymatics and stop motion/stop motion and cymatics

Last week I had been trying to develop more of the visuals for my project which led to a few small experiments of ways to show sound.

A small experiment with card, flour and a speaker.

This had led to me looking into cymatics and ways to use them in my video piece but the more I found out the more I began to think, actually being able to achieve the patterns in sand or liquid may not be as easy as I had first thought.

So, incase my experiments didn't go to plan I created a few other short stop motion videos as an alternative way of looking at sound and nature.  I was quite pleased with the short videos, bearing in mind they were just short sketches of what my final piece may be like.

Next week I am to start some bigger experiments using various materials into cymatics, with some techie help from the music department.  I'm sure they will work out better than my home made attempt.
