Corn Starch and Water dancing in a speaker

A fun experiment a friend and I tried. We mixed corn starch and water and put it in a speaker playing a low notes from a synthesizer.
The mixture is a non-newtonian fluid, which is liquid unless agitated.

The piece in the background is just something I made to try and match the video. The video's original sound was poor, just guys talking with a droning speaker in the background. So if you don't like the song, put it on mute. You're not missing anything.

@smithddddddd Yeah I was thinking it looked like a mating dance too! I wrote the song myself, but I never bothered to give it a name. I'm open to suggestions.

well its a liquid, but when in touch with the vibrations of the speaker it acts as if its a solid making the misture a non-newtonian. so i think if u touched it it would be like touching anything else thats solid
