Sound is a factor which holds it together, sound is the basis for form and shape. In the beginning there was the word, and the word was god: we are told this is how the world began and how creation took shape. If we put that into the modern idiom and say that in the great voids of space came a sound, and matter took shape.”<br/><br/> - <em>Dr. Hans Jenny (via <a href="http://silencethepoet.tumblr.com/" class="tumblr_blog" target="_blank">silencethepoet</a>)</em>http://nickbottom.tumblr.com/post/51149661303http://nickbottom.tumblr.com/post/51149661303Thu, 23 May 2013 10:42:49 -0400Cymaticsoundformvibrationfrequencyquotemattersacred geometry<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/96e6ed373b68252c4fe0d74908621921/tumblr_mirkk1zpzz1qzx0sio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://godfatherofsol.tumblr.com/post/43969811616/hans-jenny-cymatics" class="tumblr_blog" target="_blank">godfatherofsol</a>:</p> <blockquote><p><a href="http://boingboing.net/2010/01/04/hans-jenny-and-cymat.html" target="_blank">Hans Jenny & Cymatics</a></p></blockquote>http://nickbottom.tumblr.com/post/51149533680http://nickbottom.tumblr.com/post/51149533680Thu, 23 May 2013 10:40:03 -0400cymatics<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/b5024bd0fb76b2a9a11072fb2f86a024/tumblr_mn8evefXfQ1qc4eyio1_400.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/dd15e878295c23dba903046ddf0caf42/tumblr_mn8evefXfQ1qc4eyio2_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/edc09316bbf36d39ff3662a17e7774e0/tumblr_mn8evefXfQ1qc4eyio3_250.gif"/><br/> <br/>http://nickbottom.tumblr.com/post/51123519007http://nickbottom.tumblr.com/post/51123519007Wed, 22 May 2013 23:26:02 -0400HalifaxStereoscopy<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mam1c4SlDk1rxlny8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://thankyouparentsdaytour.tumblr.com/post/31870326382/element-of-crime-by-lars-von-trier" target="_blank">thankyouparentsdaytour</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Element of Crime by Lars von Trier</p> </blockquote>http://nickbottom.tumblr.com/post/51109581725http://nickbottom.tumblr.com/post/51109581725Wed, 22 May 2013 20:28:00 -0400Von Trier<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/8024b89909a843b1288edbea5b9629d8/tumblr_mn84o1UjBo1qc4eyio1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://nickbottom.tumblr.com/post/51106396718http://nickbottom.tumblr.com/post/51106396718Wed, 22 May 2013 19:45:00 -0400San Soleil
