Abstract

Jill Jarman completed the musical composition Resonance for solo cello in 2022 with the intention that it would be heard, seen, and felt as a multisensory experience. The cellist Laura Ritchie produced cymatic images for each of the musical pitches in the work, compiled them in a video, and rehearsed to be able to perform the first live synchronized multisensory performance with integrated mathematically accurate cymatic images. The cymatic images were generated using a tonescope emulator in the Cymatic Frequency Emulator software package. Images were compiled and arranged on screen in time and space to create a visual representation of the musical sounds. The resulting video accompanied live performances to enable the audience to have a full experience of the musical notes in physical, visual, and aural forms. Challenges of production and opportunities for future applications of this research are discussed.
