description

This is the presentation for my final project in Major Studio Interface. There is much more to the phenomena known as cymatics, the effects of sound waves on matter, so this presentation was a set up to the actual demonstration of the final product. More can be seen on juanpablopatino.com.

BACKGROUND

RESEARCH

What is sound?

Page 4: Waking Patterns Final Presentation

HANS JENNY

“The more one studies these things, the more one realizes that

sound is the creative principle. It must be regarded as primordial.

No single phenomenal category can be claimed as the aboriginal

principle. We cannot say, in the beginning was number, or in the

beginning was symmetry, etc. These are categorical properties

which are implicit in what brings forth and what is brought forth.

By using them in description we approach the heart of the matter.

They are not themselves the creative power. This power is inherent

in tone, in sound.”

- Hans Jenny,

Science Vibrates To Make Pictures. New York Times, April 28, 1968

WESTERN TRADITION

“And God said, Let there be light and there was light.”

- Genesis 1:3

“By the Word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them

by the breath of his mouth.”

- Psalms 33: 6

EASTERN TRADITION

The Aum Symbol

The syllable consists of three parts,a Vaishvanara, u Hiranyagarbha

and m Iswara, which symbolize the beginning, duration, and

dissolution of the universe and the associated gods Brahma,

Vishnu, and Shiva, respectively.

Aum in the Mandukya Upanishad

There are three matras (“letters”, syllabic instants in prosody)

in the word aum : ‘a’, ‘u’ and ‘m’. The ‘a’ stands for the state of

wakefulness, where we experience externally through our mind and

sense organs. The ‘u’ stands for the dream state, in which inward

experiences are available. In the state of deep sleep, represented

by the sound ‘m’, there is no desire and consciousness is gathered

in upon itself.

SUPER STRING THEORY

The basic idea is that the fundamental constituents of reality are

strings of the Planck length (about 10−33 cm) which vibrate at

resonant frequencies. Every string, in theory, has a unique

resonance, or harmonic. Different harmonics determine different

fundamental forces. The tension in a string is on the order of the

Planck force (1044 newtons).
