Grains of sound

Some fascinating footage of a Chiandi Plate vibrating with sound frequency which organizes sand grains into increasingly complex geometric forms. The higher the pitch of sound the more complex the patterns become.  Perversely the video is accompanied by irrelevant and rather bad music so mute while you can! These plates were originally activated by drawing violin bows along their edges.
