A while back, I speculated on what a Zentangle sounds like , and I came up with a way to convert Zentangles into sounds . Recently, I ran across an article that addresses the opposite question: what does sound look like? It turns out that, in some cases, it can look a lot like a Zentangle! The image at the top of this article is from cymascope.com , which explores the use of the Cymascope in visualizing sound with applications in art, physics, and biology, among others.
For this week’s Music Monday, I wanted to show you how different various types of tangling sound compared to each other. I chose three examples that have unique characteristics. Additionally, there will be two musical systems for each of the examples. Under each image there are two “play” buttons. The one on the left, labeled “Rhythmic” refers to the musical system you heard last week, in the “ What Does A Zentangle Sound Like ” post.
Note: Further down this page is an option to play music by clicking on a play button. To be able to hear it, make sure your sound is turned on and the volume set to a reasonable level. The technique should work with most browsers, but I am not able to test it in every one that exists. If you are unable to hear the music, or run into other issues, please let me know on my Facebook Art page by commenting on the post linked to this article.
