Musician uses science to help you see the sound - he uses sound to manipulate Tesla coil , fire, and matte A series of sound-visualisation experiments form the basis of the music video for a new single by musician Nigel Stanford. Nigel Stanford isn’t just a musical genius, but by the looks of this video he has a strong passion for science as well. In theory, we know what sound waves would look like if we could see them, but its not every day we actually get to lay eyes on the effects they produce on the world. There are actually a number of scientific experiments that can be used to produce a practical visual effect in response to sound. Six of these have been used by Wellington, New Zealand-based musician Nigel Stanford, who, along with director Shahir Daud, has put them together to form the music video for Cymatics, the single for his newly launched album Solar Echoes. What’s even better is the fact that everything you see in Stanford’s video is 100% pure. Besides some amazing camera work, no experiment was fabricated. “In 1999 I watched a documentary on Synesthesia — a disorder that effects the audio and visual functions of the brain. People with the disorder hear a sound when they see bright colours, or see a color when they hear various sounds. I don’t have it (I don’t think), but I have always felt that bass frequencies are red, and treble frequencies are white,” Stanford wrote. “This got me thinking that it would be cool to make a music video where every time a sound plays, you see a corresponding visual element. Many years later, I saw some videos about Cymatics — the science of visualising audio frequencies — and the idea for the video was born.” https://youtube/watch?v=Q3oItpVa9fs
