Chladni plate singing

Craft & Design Music Science

Meara O’Reilly, who works on magazine projects in MAKE Labs, is also a talented sound and visual artist. She’s just completed a short video, with her friend Lisa Foti-Straus, of the Chladni music she’s been working on. She built her Chladni (CLOD-knee) plate after working on the Chladni article in MAKE, Volume 16. She’s been composing songs based on the images that emerge as she sings into it. I love the tones she gets with her voice. Very haunting.
