Seeing Sound Pt. 1 - Cymatics and Nature

[@BennJordan]

That thing I said about "Getting my publishing sorted out", welp, this video is already demonetized and my channel income is in escrow. Thank you SO MUCH for your support. I'm going to fight this and make a rather illuminating video about it. If you want to help, Bandcamp and sharing my channel works wonders. 🙏

[@Frozen_Smoke1972]

Wtf!?

[@Studio271]

I dunno man, those organ sequences in Rose Quine sound an awful lot like half of Christ.'s discography...

When racism is so stupid that I feel like leaving the comment up does a better service to society than removing it. 🤔✡️ Edit: Nevermind, enough people reported him that he got banned. lol

Chaos is not disorder, but the best way the universe has found to get things organized. Just an entropic thought Beautiful video. Thanks from France.

[@randomaztec2208]

The content has always been top drawer but recently its gone to another level

[@danieldv6171]

This is medicine. A thousand thanks, I pull my hat.

Pull it baby

[@Eats_Flowers]

Criminally under-viewed vid, ty for putting in the work. These images are wonderful.

[@balloonxm]

it's like a flashbulb nature museum. i love it

[@MatthewWaltonWalton]

This is like all those WinAmp visualisation plugins wanted to be.

[@pedalplayer8482]

What a beautiful mind!

[@jfireclimbing]

Totally caught off guard by your apt statement at the end. Creativity, music, and nature are antidotes to many of our modern ills. Thanks for doing what you do.

[@joegarston]

Superb

[@KanzatoHiro]

Was delighted to hear a piece from PBD.

[@Petekelly55]

Beautiful; very emotional. Perfect, Thank you.

[@ultratone]

Can’t help but think this is good for my brain. I already know your music is. Very poignant last minute and a half. Thanks again.

[@mindfulsticks]

Wow. During the Angels song, I felt angelic energies and saw angelic things in my mind. Great conductivity Benn! Your music hits home so often. Thank you

[@ParallelusReflection]

KZbin & the World is a better place because of this. Thank You.

[@erazeTHEborders]

Thank you for bringing out the beauty of this chaos

[@asundayfireofficial2774]

You somehow made an informative soundwave video that doubles as a PhD level arthouse movie.

[@MyGloomyMachine]

Absolutely beautiful and inspiring. I needed this, thank you. ♡

[@freewheelinghorn]

well this was more than a little moving. bookmarked. ♥️

[@NicStage]

Thanks for the message in the end. I'm guessing that's what got it demonetized. I'm certain you know as little as I do, knowing youtube. Either way: I appreciate it.

[@brianbrill]

Astonishingly awesome content.

[@T.H.W.O.T.H]

I found the combination of audio and visual art utterly captivating. Cheers 🍻

[@bubblekeiki7395]

Holy shit Benn, the music plus those visuals...it's simply mesmerizing!

[@sircolt8184]

Oh my goodness. Many times have I seen an attempt to humanize nature by giving us concepts for easier grasp. Here I see the opposite. Just random chaotic movement creating paintings with faces and landscapes or whatever my pareidolia makes possible. Such a calming experience sitting in awe at this mesmerizing continuous evolution of beauty made from dead matter. This is a masterpiece. That ending hit like a truck.

[@edwardvivenzio5843]

Thanks Benn,love your stuff!

Will this be a topic on the next Sonic Talk? I hope so! :)

[@ts4gv]

I dig the asymmetries of your setup

[@maestro2271]

Helps to get the plate straight

[@calebhartsell9667]

This is incredible. Did you do any experiments with running full bandwidth program material (like your songs) through the plate? I'd love a more in depth look at your process with setting this up! Thanks for making gorgeous art.

[@forestaeon]

8:20 was striking, how the ink stayed where the turbulence had placed it

[@a-swimming-antelope]

15:19 is so cool

[@mr.b89]

Fantastic

[@Antonio173UK]

Sooo good buddy! Really enjoyed that. Loved the flashback of your older music. Thanks for putting the effort in 👌🏻 I said this on Twitter too, I bloody love your Pale Blue Dot album. Would love to see a VJ edition of the album with your own visuals, but that’s me being selfish! 😬

[@YTHandlesWereAMistake]

This is more like Venus's style, I think, but great work. A bit unexpected, yet very nice.

[@TheSpectralArtisan]

Yes yes yes yessss! The fingers and wavy lines are what got me when exploring this myself, Man science and art!? Up my alley that’s for sure Not sure..(but pretty sure Lmaoo) ..if you’re at all interested in some new cymatically driven content! I encourage some exploration of my visual creations! I’m actually surprised to see you including non Newtonian! I’m pretty sure that’s what my footage is using- But just want to clarify I’m wanting to share my experiences rather than just attention… My entire page is dedicated to the complete artistic chaos that science is comprised of!

[@inlandempirestudio]

Ben, thanks for all. The music. The dedication and passion. The Insight. This is very overwhelming. I wonder if the first part on the plate featuring Rose Quine is a time lapse recording or in fact a 1:1 timed image of the sound?

[@MindfulProgramming]

uploaded in 4k? damn, I wish I had fiber to experience that

[@iankellymorris]

You can download videos with KZbin Premium. $12 is a lot cheaper than fiber.

[@hunterkrueger7017]

I still want to see some 'Ghost Hunting with The Flashbulb' action

[@BennJordan]

I'd love to, but it'd be a pretty shit episode as I'd bet just about anything that the results would be "Yeah so ghosts still probably don't exist but let's explore how people misinterpret data to fit their own narrative"

[@hunterkrueger7017]

@@BennJordan That would be great. You could spend 5 minutes in video collecting data and playing it up like "Yeah, so this means we have ghost activity" and then do a 180 and explain the "people and narratives" side.

[@BennJordan]

@@hunterkrueger7017 Richard Devine is actually an avid ghost enthusiast. So that could be pretty funny indeed. :)

[@Mrshutter]

Benn, can we be friends? I grew up fascinated with physics and the beauty of chaos and your music is what I listened to as I would lay and think.

[@daroujo]

Well, that was absolutely amazing! I'd love to know more about how you actually achieved all that. It took me a second to realize that you made those patterns using other sounds than what we are hearing in the video (hence the comment in the beginning). Also, when's the Patreon page coming?? ;)

[@jameshasseriousedoubtsabou560]

[@jordanolson]

Go go gadget bitrate destroyer

[@ciscobriano]

If OOOOONLy you listed the frequency as the shapes change. Thanks thought. Do it again

[@gatorgoforth3097]

Would it be possible to have an array of lights, with each light slightly out of phase with the next? I imagine this would give a constant source of light. This array would have to be really tight so as to give the same point source, or diffuse the source.

[@seditt5146]

Better to do something similar with a circular arrangement of various colored LED all at different base frequencies such that different harmonics, octaves whatever show as different colors. Even all being in phase makes visualization of the wavefunction far simpler especially in slow motion.

[@JeremyAdcock]

Pretty neat there is an analogy between shrdinger's equation for some particular ions (in 2D?) with Chladni plates. Do you have a reference or some reading material explaining it?

[@JeremyAdcock]

Can you use a DC light source (maybe battery powered) to avoid alias effects while illuminatuing the fluids?

[@JeremyAdcock]

Funny how the resonance with specific modes seems to set up briefly, then change to a new mode after a short time in *discrete* steps as environment changes.

[@JeremyAdcock]

You didn't describe the set up for the fluid experiments! what are you using to drive it?

[@JeremyAdcock]

Reminds me of this paper (should be open-access) www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2376-8

[@jameshasseriousedoubtsabou560]

Im not an expert on the subject at all. But I did know how the sand move and why they form those patterns. When the plate vibrates, it creates standing waves. The sand moves from the peaks and troughs that vibrate the most to the parts inbetween where there is no movement to jossle them around. I dont know much on shrodingere equation tho.

I miss that sound that always used to accompany you saying "Bye." It always gave such a profound sense of closure for some reason. haha

[@softmoneyy]

why is this video buried? i usually see your vids but it seems like YT ain't promoting this one cause i had to go looking for it after seeing your instagram story.

[@phillanthony]

Love it, but i am left wondering if this is material that will be used for an upcoming lp. I don't recognize it

[@phillanthony]

Ok jk I recognize some of them, but the first two for sure don't ring a bell

it is so weird, the sound we hearing it is not the one used. This is very nice video but very disappointed we don't hear the original sounds.

[@elivikstrommusic]

Too bad this is being gutted by youtube compression

[@nomindseye]

Dunno about that, in 4K it's pretty good. Especially if you look at it in 1440 display. Can't see many artifacts then because it's scaled down.
