SSF: “Cymatics: Science Vs. Music”

Now for something (almost) entirely different than my usual Summa Shorts fare:

CYMATICS (from Greek: κῦμα “wave”): the study of visible sound; a process for making soundwaves visible; a subset of modal phenomena. 

The only thing I love more than this video itself? The fact that all the scientific effects used in the video are real, and they have a “Behind the Scenes” page to prove it. (The drum/hose combo is my favorite part, I think, though the slo-mo cymbal is amazing. Also, the world needs more flaming organs. A lot more.)
