Nigel Stanford’s song Cymatics is named for the study of visible sound vibrations, and we see sound made visible in this music video. In fact, this video is a treasure trove of science, with ferrofluid, Chladni plates, Tesla coils, and a fiery Ruben’s tube.

Shahir Daud directed the music video for Cymatics, a track from Stanford’s album Solar Echoes (which you can download from his website).

There are also behind-the-scenes videos for each of the phenomena demonstrated:
