The Shape of Sound

The Shape of Sound delves into the captivating world of Cymatics, revealing the artistry of visualising audio frequencies through the intricate experimentation of a Chladni Plate. It explores the profound connection between sound and its visual expressions, capturing the analogue beauty of waveforms through a digital lens, and celebrating the intricate interplay of sound, science, and art.

By showcasing how frequencies shape matter, this project meticulously crafts and transforms patterns in post-production. The result is a spellbinding display that transforms the expansive LED screen of Aberdeen's Music Hall into a dynamic abstract speaker, breathing life into sound through a visual symphony. The Shape of Sound is a mesmerising fusion of innovation and creativity.
