mix 002: sacred geometry

sacred geometry is the hidden, complex patterns that are embedded within every facet of life - the divine imprint of a higher energy that permeates all.

when matter such as liquid or sand is vibrated by sound waves, a corresponding perfect geometric pattern will emerge. this is know as cymatics, a term coined by Swiss scientist Dr. Hans Jenny.

all footage in this visual mix is unedited, natural phenomena. oil or mercury on a speaker transforms into a visual symphony when exposed to sound. a swinging pendulum leaves behind mathematically precise curves in sand. flames of fire oscillate to the rhythm of music pumped through a Rubens’ tube. magnified views of vibrating liquid under a microscope reveal unbelievable organized harmony. water streaming from a hose seems to levitate in patterns controlled by frequency. even bubbles demonstrate hidden cymatics in holographic shapes that appear when subjected to sound wave

producing the most fascinating visuals is ferrofluid - a liquid that becomes strongly magnetized in the presence of a magnetic field. this can create an amazing otherworldly effect as seemingly conscious alien spikes arise and dance in unison.

sound is immensely powerful - if it can effect matter in this way, imagine what it does to your body and mind! the human body is 60% water, so when you expose yourself to music you are quite literally altering your physical and mental being.
