Return to the studio

Adapted from Cymatics by Olivier Giulieri. MIT licensed. 11 stars observed November 6, 2026; pushed November 1, 2026.

Retained original square-plate and Bessel drum modes, particle solver, tone engine and procedural graphics. Removed analytics, external fonts, service worker and download. Added manual pause, keyboard mode controls, lifecycle audio stop, resting-grain status and responsive controls. The modal formulas are illustrative approximations, not a full free-edge plate mechanics solver. Frequencies describe idealized objects; this is an illustrative studio, not a calibrated instrument.

All readable adapted source is local: app.js, cymatics.js, cy.css.
