Accuracy not guaranteed. Get Audacity and play! http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Correction: it is the "Basilar" membrane, which is what I say, but somehow between recording the script and actually drawing the stuff I got confused and thought I just pronounced my Vs poorly. Always sad to have such a simple and glaring error in something I put hundreds of hours of work into, but a "Vasilar" membrane can be the kind that a Vi draws to explain Viola Vibrations, I guess! Making up new words is just so prolightfully awstastic.

Props to my Bro for excellent and creative swing pushing, and to my Mamma for filming it.

Extra special thanks to my generous donators, without whom I would not have been able to create this video. Because of your support, I have the equipment, time, and take-out Thai food necessary for doing stuff like this.

    Pythagoras would be most proud if you were his student. I am grateful to the Uni-verse for you sharing and sharing this wisdom in such a wonderful format! Keep on vibrating! I wonder if you could use your mind to explain how in cymatics shape/geometry is connected with sound. I am still learning here and as I've come to learn sound is spherical. The flower of life pattern seems to hold a key like a back drop for such mysteries to reveal themselves.
