He Smears Oil On The Speaker. When The Music Starts, I Can’t Believe My Eyes!

In New Zealand, when you talk about Nigel John Stanford, you have mentioned a famous musician who sings new era and ambient music. The following clip shows him as he plays the piano and a set of drums. The video has “Cymatics,” as the title, which actually is the knowledge of producing conceptions of audio frequencies.

Here is the confession that he makes on his website pertaining how he became attracted toaudio visualization:

In 1999, he happened to watch “Synesthesia,” a documentary which talked about a condition that disturbs the seeing and hearing functions of the brain. Patients with that condition tend to hear a sound upon spotting bright colors or view a color when they hear many sounds. Although he doesn’t have the disorder, he said that he felt that the treble frequencies were white and bass frequencies were red in color.

The idea made him to think of producing a music clip whereby when a song is played, you can be able to see the color corresponding it. After years elapsed, he viewed some clips concerning Cymatics (the discipline of picturing audio frequencies), which gave him the notion of the video to produce.

It took him a long time to obtain the materials to perform the investigation. It took him two days to record all the experiments he did. To him, the thrilling part in the making of Cymatics is when he penned the music for the clip after he had done the shooting. The visual effects patterns that are witnessed in the following clip, were attained by him trying out weird frequencies and tones. This enabled him to imagine the music that can merge with the visuals and create them.

The outcome was stunning, as it clearly demonstrated the relationship that exists between music and science. To see and understand these effects better, watch the video with high volume then repeat watching it with the voice mute. The difference is noted when watching it while the voice is mute, the effects vary from person to person.
