The Shape of Sound

The Shape of Sound delves into the fascinating realm of Cymatics, where the art of visualising audio frequencies through experimentation with a Chladni Plate unfolds. It delves into the intricate relationship between sound and its visual manifestations, capturing the essence of analog waveforms through a digital perspective, thus celebrating the profound visual language inherent in both sound and science.

Witnessing how frequencies mould matter, the project meticulously crafts and manipulates patterns in post-production, transforming the expansive LED screen of Aberdeen's Music Hall into a mesmerising abstract speaker that breathes life into sound.

Co-commissioned by Aberdeen Performing Arts and New Media Scotland’s Alt-w Fund, with vital support from Creative Scotland.
