Watch how different audio frequencies can create mind blowing visual patterns. It’s a kaleidoscope of sound. It’s basically a more visually hypnotic version of the Chladni plate experiment.

Sound is something of an ephemeral phenomenon, existing in the moment that vibrations travel through the air. Those vibrations also exhibit distinct patterns, depending on frequency, which can be ...
