Cymatics

Chladni figure and cymatics sand-pattern visualizer driven by audio resonance

2D CanvasMediumBest for: Acoustic, Classical, Science, Meditative

Cymatics simulates the Chladni plate experiment where sand settles at the nodal lines of resonating surfaces. The dominant audio frequency determines the resonance mode, producing intricate geometric sand patterns that shift whenever the frequency changes dramatically.

Tips & Best Practices

  1. 1

    Chladni mode with high-frequency music creates complex, intricate nodal figures.

  2. 2

    Water Pattern mode is smoothest — great for acoustic guitar or piano.

  3. 3

    Salt Figure mode high contrast works well on a pure black background.
