A Study to Explore the Effects of Sound Vibrations on Consciousness
International Journal of Social Work and Human Services Practice Horizon Research Publishing Vol.6. No.3 July, 2018, pp. 75-88 A Study to Explore the Effects of Sound Vibrations on Consciousness Meera Raghu Independent Researcher, New Zealand Abstract Sound is a form of energy produced by cause happiness, joy, courage or calmness, dissonant vibrations caused by movement of particles. Sound can intervals can cause tension, anger, fear or sadness, thereby travel through solids (such as metal, wood, membranes), affecting the emotional aspect of consciousness. liquids (water) and gases (air). The sound vibrations that reach our ear are produced by the movement of particles in Keywords Consciousness, Sound, Vibration, Music, the air surrounding the source of sound. The movement or Emotion, Chladni, Pattern, Energy vibration of particles produces waves of sound. Sound waves are longitudinal and travel in the direction of propagation of vibrations. The pitch of sound is related directly to its frequency, which is given by the number of Introduction vibrations or cycles per second. The higher the pitch of sound, the higher is its frequency, and the lower the pitch, Sound is everywhere. There is perpetual movement and the lower is its frequency. Human ear can hear sounds of action in the world around us, and this produces a variety of frequencies ranging from 20 – 20,000 cycles per second (or sounds, such as those coming from Nature, from animals, Hertz – Hz). Sound waves can be visually seen and studied those generated by humans in the form of speech or music, using ‘Chladni’ plates, which was devised and those that are generated by vehicles, machines, gadgets that experimented by Ernst Chladni, a famous physicist with a are used for comfort, leisure and convenience.

Research Methods
BLUEPRINTS OF THE COSMOS ABSTRACT The causal relationship between cymatic pattern and Hindu-Yantra exposes the essential pattern underlying the universe. Phenomena that confirm this blueprint are convergent evolution1, stigmergy2 (swarm-intelligence), chaos/complexity theory3, exaptation4, gestalt5, Plato’s-problem6 and perhaps even sympathetic magic7. The unified-field and collective unconscious8 are the same; science explains the metaphysical. Ancient Yantra-Mandalas catalogue the morphology of the unified-field. Cross-referencing quantum theory, biologist Rupert Sheldrake, Carl Jung and media-analyst Marshall McLuhan reveals this new Gestalt. Symbols are the keys to understanding reality. Systems Theory is an important new paradigm. 1 In evolutionary biology, convergent evolution is when organisms not closely related independently evolve similar traits as a result of having to adapt to similar environments or ecological niches. In cultural evolution, convergent evolution is the development of similar cultural adaptations to similar environmental conditions by different peoples with different ancestral cultures. 2 Stigmergy is an organizing principle in which individual parts of the system communicate with one another indirectly by modifying their local environment. Termite mounds are a classic example but cells do it and now computers are doing it too. Available at http://evolutionofcomputing.org/Multicellular/Stigmergy.html 3 Complexity Theory/Chaos Theory studies systems that are too complex to predict, but nevertheless exhibit underlying patterns that illuminate our increasingly complex world. Complexity Theory has only really developed since computers are now able to undertake the massive computations necessary to uncover its mysteries. Prof. Stephen Hawking has stated, "The next century will be the century of complexity". Mainstream concepts are; tipping points, the butterfly effect and six degrees of separation.

CYMATICS IN MUSIC Del Hungerford, D.M.A. www.healingfrequenciesmusic.com DOWNLOAD THIS PRESENTATION! • Go to www.healingfrequenciesmusic.com • Click on “Blog” on the navigation bar • Either use search feature or look for blog post titled “Cymatics” • PDF file will be at the bottom of the page below this video • All links will be clickable on the PDF CYMATICS? Term coined by Hans Jenny (1904-1972), a Swiss follower of the philosophical school known as anthroposophy. Cymatics is from Greek word for “wave” where it creates a modal vibrational phenomena. In 1680, Robert Hooke saw the nodal patterns associated with the modes of vibration of glass plates. In the 1780’s, the German musician and physicist Ernst Chladni noticed that the modes of vibration of a membrane or a plate can be observed by sprinkling the vibrating surface with a fine dust. ERNST CHLADNI • Chladni introduced what we now call “cymatics” in 1787 in his book Discoveries on the Theory of Sound • He contributed to the understanding of acoustic phenomena and functioning of musical instruments. CHLADNI PLATES MORE CHLADNI PLATES CHLADNI FIGURES AND MUSICAL PITCHES MORE SPECIFICS • Powder, salt, or sand moves due to the vibration and accumulates progressively in points of the surface corresponding to the sound vibration (nodes and anti- nodes). • The points form a pattern of lines, known as "nodal lines of the vibration mode.“ (Wikipedia) • Different patterns emerge in the excitatory medium depending on the geometry of the plate and the driving frequency. (Wikipedia) HANS JENNY • A physician and natural scientist who coined the term cymatics to describe acoustic effects of sound wave phenomena.

Gurjar Department Of Electronics And Telecommunication Sipna College of Engineering and Technology Amravati , India Abstract— Medical science is developing different techniques to heal diseases. Diseases are physical or psychological, music therapy uses different sounds. in this paper we are analyzing A3 to C5 Musical notes which is having remarkable clinical significance. we are converting A3 to C5 notes into images and then analyzing those images Keywords— cymatics; musical notes, FFT, chaladni plate. I. INTRODUCTION In the beginning was the „word‟ or in Sanskrit, „Nada Brahma‟, the world is sound. The amazing power of sound to change and shape matter is fundamental to all life and many spiritual technologies. Cymatics is the study of wave phenomenon, which emerged as a distinct scientific discipline in the 1950s. Robert Hooke, Ernst chladni, Margaret watts Hughes and Hans jenny were the initiators of Cymatics each of whom found wonder in The changing patterns as they animated matter reacting sound. We used 110 Hz to 523Hz audio signal for the experimentation which corresponds to A3 to C5 Musical Notes. As we gradually shift from low frequency to higher one the pattern corresponds to it become more complex. Cymatics work on the principle of standing wave patterns and different patterns are developing because of number of nodes and antinodes develop on the plate.

Student’s Name: Rachael Linton Student’s Signature: Date: March 30, 2009 Sound Vision PATTERNS OF VIBRATION IN SOUND, SYMBOLS AND THE BODY A Thesis Submitted in partial fulfilment of the Master of Design RACHAEL LINTON Institute of Communication Design Massey University Wellington New Zealand 2008. Page | 1 ABSTRACT Historical and contemporary views such as those held within Buddhist and Hindu religion support the idea that sound, colour and form in motion have the ability to alter physiological and psychological aspects of human function. Within these, religions, distinctive singing and meditation techniques can be used to aid concentration, calm and balance the mind, and soothe the body. A meditative technique adopted by Hindu and Buddhist practitioners is to draw the mind into a centred point of focus, blocking out external distractions that inhibit concentration. The sound based meditation Om, for example, is a most powerful mantra, capable of healing and elevating consciousness (Beck, 1995). Vocal sounding and chant as well as gazing at or visualising images are techniques that have been utilised in ancient religious practice to aid people to develop their natural capabilities to shift energy within body and mind.

Music Lovers' Field Companion
[“Music Lovers’ Field Companion” from Silence © 1961 by John Cage. Published by Wesleyan University Press. Used by permission.] Music Lovers’ Field Companion John Cage In 1954 an issue of the United States Lines Paris Review devoted to humor was being prepared. I was invited to write on the subject of music. I contributed the following article. I have come to the conclusion that much can be learned about music by devoting oneself to the mushroom. For this purpose, I have recently moved to the country. Much of my time is spent poring over “field companions” on fungi. These I obtain at half price in second-hand bookshops, which latter are in some rare cases next door to shops selling dog-eared sheets of music, such an occurrence being greeted by me as irrefutable evidence that I am on the right track. The winter for mushrooms, as for music, is a most sorry season. Only in caves and houses where matters of temperature and humidity, and in concert halls where matters of trusteeship and box office are under constant surveillance, do the vulgar and accepted forms thrive. American commercialism has brought about a grand deterioration of the Psalliota campestris, affecting through exports even the European market. As a demanding gourmet sees but does not purchase the marketed mushroom, so a lively musician reads from time to time the announcements of concerts and stays quietly at home. lf, energetically, Collybia velutipes should fruit in January, it is a rare event, and happening on it while stalking in a forest is almost beyond one’s dearest expectations, just as it is exciting in New York to note that the number of people attending a winter concert requiring the useof one’s faculties is on the upswing (1954: 129 out of 12,000,000; 1955: 136 out of 12,000,000).

Seeing Sound: Hans Jenny and the Cymatic Atlas

Lewis University of Pittsburgh, BPhil, 2010 Submitted to the Faculty of The College of Arts and Sciences in conjunction with the University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2010 1 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES & THE UNIVERSITY HONORS COLLEGE This thesis was presented by Stephen D.

Lewis 2010 3 SEEING SOUND: HANS JENNY AND THE CYMATIC ATLAS Stephen D. Lewis, B.Phil University of Pittsburgh, 2010 I argue that cymatic imaging processes are methods of artifactual data production rather than data collection and that the production of sonorous figures can be shown to be scientifically valuable when compared to other artifactual data production methods used in the past, particularly Alphonse Bertillon’s use of anthropometrics to organize police catalogues in the 19 th century. By artifactual, I mean that the data produced through a cymatic regime are the result of the imaging practice, and do not exist in the world before they are manufactured through a contrived process. Cymatics, a mediating imaging practice, permits an enhanced visual access to acoustical phenomena that are typically only experienced through our senses of hearing and touch.

The Augmented Tonoscope
Lewis Jeremy Sykes The Augmented Tonoscope Towards a Deeper Understanding of the Interplay between Sound and Image in Visual Music A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Manchester Institute for Research and Innovation in Art & Design (MIRIAD), Manchester School of Art February 2015 Abstract This thesis presents the theoretical, technical and aesthetic concerns in realising a harmonic complementarity and more intimate perceptual connection between music and moving image. It explores the inspirations and various processes involved in creating a series of artistic works - attached as a portfolio and produced as the research. This includes the Cymatic Adufe (v1.1) - a sound-responsive, audiovisual installation; Stravinsky Rose (v2.0) - an audiovisual short in Dome format; and the live performance works of Whitney Triptych (v1.2), Moiré Modes (v1.1) and Stravinsky Rose (v3.0). The thesis outlines an approach towards realising a deeper understanding of the interplay between sound and image in Visual Music - through applying: the Differential Dynamics of pioneering, computer-aided, experimental animator John Whitney Sr.; alternate musical tunings based on harmonic consonance and the Pythagorean laws of harmony; and sound’s ability to induce physical form and flow via Cymatics - the study of wave phenomena and vibration - a term coined by Dr. Hans Jenny for his seminal research into these effects in the 1960s and 70s, using a device of his own design - the ʻtonoscopeʼ. The thesis discusses the key method for this artistic investigation through the design, fabrication and crafting of a hybrid analogue/digital audiovisual instrument - a contemporary version of Jenny’s sound visualisation tool - The Augmented Tonoscope.
