Explore how mathematical ratios become rhythm, resonance and timbre.
FFF LAB · EXPLORE · MATHEMATICS AND SOUND
Oscillation, resonance and harmonic ratios that you can see and hear.
RHYTHM AND TIME
Pendulum Wave
Watch different periods drift apart and realign, then hear the same ratios as rhythm.
Open simulationRESONANCE AND SPACE
Chladni Patterns
Change the plate modes and watch vibration become nodal patterns.
Open simulationTONE AND RATIOS
Harmonic Galaxy
Turn harmonics on and hear how whole-number ratios shape timbre.
