First let me apologise for being the slowest blogger in history. 8 months between posts, shocking! Ableit to say I’ve been super busy doing all sorts of crazy, wonderful things. One of which being last week’s TED Global conference in Oxford!
I presented a talk on the 2nd session of day one. My talk was on the subject of Cymatics. For my first large scale public speaking experience I got a great response! Thanks so much to everyone for the love, support, interest and enthusiasm they gave before and after!
What a week, here’s to many more TED’s in the future!
For anyone who’s interested to know more, we are launching a cymatics community site shortly. Add a comment below and I’ll let you know when it’s live.

Hi Evan
Your TED talk was very interesting. Especially the part where you said that cymatics are available to everyone. I am very interested as a musician in what shapes I can make with my songs.
Since you didn’t give any clues as to where I can get this cymatic technology for myself, I guess I’ll start randomly searching on the internet.
Thanks for the inspiring talk. And good luck with all of your sound projects.

Hello Evan
Great talk and great to see cymatics being presented at Ted.
Please send me an e mail- my mac mail does not work so I cant find your address.
Please have a look at some of my live visual art at http://www.youtube.com/user/creaturesvillestudio
The visuals are made using water and light.
Not exactly cymatics at this point but the potential is there to include it in the production/ artistic/ experimental process.
Cymatics being used to visualize dolphin calls is a great idea and points towards the general arena of using visualized sound to investigate nature/ phenomena further.
I would love to see the suns/ earths vibration visualized cymatically in real time…a worthy future project no doubt. Mongolian throat chanting, fusion reactors, CERN, heartbeats, lightbulbs… Perhaps in the future as the technology develops it will also be used as a diagnostic tool in healthcare.
Exciting stuff.
Thanks again
Keep well
Des

Hello,
i totally agreee with Rose. i am pretty much interested on interactivity and visualising sounds and etc, and i would like to improve, start practicing the ideas on mind.
through some softwares and hardwares like MAX/MSP and Eobody . . . and thats would be great idea to gather people who are interested in this, also producing different levels of thoughts and practices. . . sharing how, so we would improve .
just like these guys . .

Evan, just happened across this again – nice to see the photo – was thinking, has anyone used Cymatics with school kids 5-10 year olds? Was looking for simple experiments they could make to get them excited and making stuff…
