Cymaglyph: Human vowel sound "O"

Phonology is the systematic use of sound to encode meaning in any spoken human language, or the field of linguistics studying this use.

Just as a language has syntax and vocabulary, it also has a phonology in the sense of a sound system. When describing the formal area of study, the term typically describes linguistic analysis either beneath the word (e.g., syllable, onset and rime, phoneme, articulatory gesture, articulatory feature, mora, etc.) or to units at all levels of language that are thought to structure sound for conveying linguistic meaning. It is viewed as the subfield of linguistics that deals with the sound systems of languages.

Whereas phonetics is about the physical production, acoustic transmission and perception of the sounds of speech, phonology describes the way sounds function within a given language or across languages to encode meaning.

The term “phonology” was used in the linguistics of a greater part of the 20th century as a cover term uniting phonemics and phonetics. Current phonology can interface with disciplines such as psycholinguistics and speech perception, resulting in specific areas like articulatory or laboratory phonology.

The CymaScope represents a significant breakthrough in the study of phonology and as a powerful audio-visual aid in speech pathology/therapy and vocal coaching.

The instant production of voice figures or “CymaGlyphs” as a result of the client’s own vocalizations can provide visual feedback that not only allows the client to shape their sounds visually, thus improving articulation and intonation, but also provides an effective method of enhancing pitch recognition.

With the new CymaScope App now available in the major app stores, for the first time ever, sound frequencies can be made visible cymascopically from the low low frequency of 27Hz, all the way up to the astonishingly high 2217 Hz!

CymaScope App 2.0 main features:

• Unprecedented frequency range: Visualize sounds from 27 Hz to 2217 Hz, extending far beyond the human vocal range, a new CymaScope standard.
• Microphone activation mode: Watch dynamic CymaScope imagery emerge in real time as you sing, or play pre-recorded music, or any live music.
• Easy play twin keyboard: Compose or play a melody and see it made visible. Options are selectable for named notes, or for a clean keyboard.
• Vocal pitch recognition: Instantly see the musical note you’re singing, perfect for ear training, enabling you to name the notes you are singing.
• 432 Hz & 440 Hz tuning: Whether your preferred concert pitch is 432 Hz or 440 Hz, both tuning options are on board and easily selectable.
• Video + image capture: Record and save CymaScope videos, and still shots of any moment, and store in your device’s photo library.
• Video demo gallery: Watch a demo of the app’s features and explore mesmerizing CymaScope Pro videos by James Stuart Reid.

We are standing at the dawn of a new era in medicine, in which phototherapy-—healing with light frequencies—is the main therapy of choice in hospital dermatology departments, and the new clinical term, “Music Medicine”—healing with music frequencies—is being adopted by clinicians, worldwide.

Now the CymaScope app 2.1.0 can play its part in this transition, supporting this shift toward a healthier future, by helping identify sonic frequencies that underpin biological benefits.

Einstein-Rosen Bridge

An Einstein–Rosen bridge is a hypothetical “shortcut” through space-time. This design is an artistic interpretation created at a low frequency on the CymaScope. The central region shows a spiral vortex, surrounded by a quasi-3D tunnel of concentric energy rings.

The image is superimposed on an actual star field of the Cosmos. Definitely for homes where scientific minds dwell!

ohn Stuart Reid is an English acoustics engineer and scientist who carried out cymatics research in the Great Pyramid of Egypt in 1997, designed to study the resonant behavior of the granite sarcophagus and the acoustics of the King’s Chamber. Reid published his research findings in Egyptian Sonics 26 , which documents this study, including hieroglyphic-like patterns that emerged in sand on a membrane stretched over the open top of the sarcophagus. His work in the Great Pyramid inspired him to develop the CymaScope, an instrument that makes sound visible by imprinting sound’s vibrations onto water. As the pages of this web site show, the CymaScope is an instrument that can be applied to many branches of science, since vibration underpins all physical processes.

Reid’s primary mission is to educate and inspire in the emergent science of cymatics, the study of visible sound. He speaks extensively on his research findings to audiences throughout the United States, United Kingdom and Europe, including regular presentations at the Water Conference, which focuses on the physics, chemistry and biology of water. He collaborates with scientists and Universities from many countries.

In 2015 the first generation CymaScope App broke new ground, enabling music to be visualized in shimmering cymatic beauty.

The next-generation CymaScope App 2.0 enters a world in which people are far more aware of the healing power of frequencies than a decade ago—a time when the transformative power of sound and light is recognized by millions, and when mainstream medicine is steadily shifting toward a more holistic approach...
This powerful new app reaches far beyond the first generation, combining scientific innovation with practical features, designed to support your journey into frequency healing.

With this new CymaScope app, for the first time ever, sound frequencies can be made visible cymascopically from the low low frequency of 27Hz, all the way up to the astonishingly high 2217 Hz.

By way of comparison, the lowest frequency a bass vocalist can sing is around 70 Hz, and the highest frequency a soprano can reach is 1046 Hz, so the new CymaScope app has a bandwidth that extends far beyond the human vocal range in both the low and high registers.
