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.
One human voice, two simultaneous notes. The measurable acoustics of throat singing, the traditions from Tuva to South Africa that carry it, and what each says in its own words.
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.
