Cymatics
Cymatics was explored by Hans Jenny who published a book by that title in 1967. Inspired by
systems theory, the work of
Ernst Chladni, and his medical practice, Jenny began an investigation of
periodic phenomena but especially the
visual display of
sound. He used standing waves,
piezoelectric amplifiers, and other methods and materials.
The term cymatics is from the greek "kyma" or "wave".
Jenny's book influenced Alvin Lucier and, along with Chladni, helped lead to his composition Queen of the South.
