Size: 5.9 x 7.2 inches Publisher: Bloomsbury USA; 1st Edition 2003 ISBN-10: 0802714099 ISBN-13: 978-0802714091 Harmonograph examines the remarkable and mathematical beauty in sound and music. Economist and journalist Ashton presents graphical representations of musical harmonies, mostly produced by the harmonograph, a simple scientific instrument invented in the 19th century, which he describes how to build. He explains insights that the pictures provide into the nature and possibilities of sound combinations. Anthony Ashton examines the phenomenon of resonance in Chladni patterns, describes how to build a harmonograph of your own, and provides tables of world tuning systems. This inspiring book will appeal to musicians, mathematicians, designers, and artists alike.
