In the early Sixties, a Swiss scientist named Hans Jenny experimented
with the effects of sound vibrations on fluids, powders and liquid
paste. Photographs of Jenny's work were as remarkable as his observations
of the patterns which emerged. He wrote of "powder erupting into
clouds" and crypts like honeycombs; pillar like prominences; column
waves and wave forms; current storms and storm currents.
He concluded, "However,
this is not an unregulated chaos; it is a dynamic but ordered pattern."
