Video Of The Day: What Music Looks Like
Nigel Stanford visualized sound with help from sand, water, fire, ferro fluid, and plasma.
Inspired by a documentary on ‘Synesthesia” – a disorder which makes people smell or see colors of sounds, an Australian Musician Nigel Stranford, decided to make a video where every sound has visual effects.
Together with a film director Shahir Daud they made a video titled “Cymatics” (cymatics is the study of visible sound co vibration) based on Stranford’s audio track of the same name. While making the video the team conducted seven cymatic experiments:
Chladni Plate
Hose Pipe
Speaker Dish
Ferro Fluid
Plasma Ball
Rube’s Tube
Tesla coil
Stranford describes the process of conducting the experiments and what it was like backstage on his web-site.
