What does sound do — to a room, a body, a mind? Cymatics, tuning systems, and the old harmonic traditions, read side by side with the physics of our time. Every idea traced to its source: measurement, tradition, or calculation.
Throat singing traditions from Mongolia to South Africa use the physics of harmonic overtones to achieve extraordinary sonic feats — and growing research suggests genuine therapeutic benefits.
From Ernst Chladni's 18th-century sand plates to Hans Jenny's fluid experiments, cymatics reveals that sound is not invisible — it builds geometric cathedrals in matter.
From ETH Zurich's acoustic levitation to Tibetan monks moving boulders — exploring the ancient and modern connections between sound waves and the manipulation of matter.
