CYMATICS TONOSCOPE - YOUR VOICE MADE VISIBLE!

Cymatics Tonoscope - Your Voice made Visible!

Sing or tone into this tonoscope I made, and watch your voice create patterns, including striking geometric shapes right in front of your eyes!

Patterns change as you shift from one pitch to another, from one vowel to another. See what happens singing part of a Mozart aria! Experiment!

Dr Hans Jenny’s work on Cymatics has contributed enormously to the fields of Sound Healing and Energy Medicine. Vibrational therapies work on the energy field using music, sound, movement etc to entice a change in the field.

Hear the Sound, See the Pattern, Feel the Vibration, held together by the vibrational field.

This picture was taken at one of my classes as a student sang into the tonoscope.

Cymatics Experiment Mozart "Una Donna a Quindici Anni"

Cymatics Presentation at Pymander Bookstore - CT

Jeff Volk's presentation on "CYMATICS  and RESONANCE" at Pymander Bookstore in Norwalk, CT on Saturday April 16, was a wonderful opportunity to go deeper into the understanding and experience of Cymatics, the study of sound and how it affects matter and how it creates cohesive organized patterns. Jeff's wonderful presentation included scientific explanations, stunning visual images, film clips, stories about the life of Hans Jenny, precursors in this field; music and recitations of his own poems. He wove it all together with some thought provoking insights on the nature of change and coherence as it relates to the process of life around us and within us. It was a deep, thorough presentation, the room was packed and great energy from participants!

At the end of Jeff's presentation, he invited me to demonstrate using my home made tonoscope. In the pic you can see as I (Suzanne Tribe) sing and tone into a tube that is connected to a hub with a membrane sprinkled with salt, which is being vibrated by the sound of my voice and adopts different patterns and geometric shapes. You can also see a view of Pymander Bookstore, which is lovely and has a ton of cool books and items for healing and well-being. You can also see Kristen, the owner, with a client in the background.

We then opened up the exploration to all present and they experienced and watched how their voices created patterns, including striking geometric shapes right in front of their eyes! In this pic you can see Jeff Volk (left), Jennifer Baron, my daughter, who helped with the tonoscope demo; Stephen, who attended the presentation and is experimenting with the pitch of C, and myself in supporting role!

This is a pic of one of the geometric shapes that was created as Jennifer Baron sang beautiful high pitched notes and part of a Mozart aria into the tonoscope.
All pictures by Charles Tribe
A special thanks to my "team" Jennifer Baron, vocals, and Charles Tribe, photographs, and both helped transport, set up the tonoscope and do the demo! You are the best!!!

 Sound made visible! This is a pic of my first experiment with cymatics - the human voice creating visible patterns and shapes that move and are in flux with changes in pitch, vowels sounds and resonance. 

I built a HOME MADE TONOSCOPE and used salt on the blue membrane. Also used my phone to record the pitch. I look forward to more explorations and sharing with others interested in cymatics! Watch the video on Youtube by clicking on the title of this post!

Article in the Stamford Patch on Acoustic Open Mic Night - December 2010

Patty Robinson, from the Stamford Parch, came over to the Acoustic Open Mic this November at the Long Ridge Tavern, and apart from sharing stories and fun moments, wrote this cool article about our monthly gatherings where we celebrate music and community!

Thanks Patty, it was great having you at the Tavern and thanks to all who collaborate to make this such a fun, supportive evening!

Acoustic Open Mic Night Shines Monthly at Long Ridge Tavern

On the second Thursday of each month, Long Ridge Tavern offers a unique musical experience along with the chance to join in

By Patti Robinson

Every second Thursday of each month, the Long Ridge Tavern, known for its warm and rustic atmosphere, is filled with uplifting and inspirational acoustic music — not by a house band, but by a combination of seasoned and young musicians that gather for an open mic night.

Hosted by musician and voice coach Suzanne Tribe, this monthly open mic night is different from others in the area because attracts participants and listeners of all ages and backgrounds.

Beginning April 2009, Tribe said she wanted to create an open mic night for local musicians and audiences to extend and expand their experience and enjoyment of community and music.

"This is an enjoyable evening to spend together supporting loved ones and making connections with others" she told Patch.

Tribe moved to the U.S. in 2005 from Argentina and currently owns a private practice as a voice coach in Stamford. As a Remo Endorsed Health Rhythms facilitator, she conducts rhythm-based events and drum circles in schools, long term care facilities and for community organizations. She also performs with the Global Rhythm Group around the tri-state area and is currently working on her new CD as well as music for a documentary film.

Randy Brody, who performs with Tribe at the open mic nights as a featured player, is a professional music educator, group drumming facilitator and accomplished world music percussionist. He creates drumming workshops and other rhythm-based events for adults and children throughout Connecticut and beyond.

"I love going to Suzanne's open mic night," said Brody. "It's a great opportunity to try out new material and play with different and very talented musicians.  Plus, I always make new friends there. It's like a party for musicians and supporters of live music."

To give an example of how eclectic the music can get at these gatherings, this particular night began with Sting's "How Fragile We Are," which Tribe covered on her acoustic guitar along with featured players Mark Hinkley on piano, and Lydia Smith and Brody on exotic hand drums that included African djembe and mbira, Latin congas, Middle Eastern doumbek and Swiss hand drums.

After that performance, however, the stage was open to whoever wanted to display their talents.

"We give everyone the chance to showcase their skills, or lack thereof, to the enjoyment or bemusement of others," Tribe said. 

To pre-reserve a spot on the open mic night on Dec. 9, email Tribe at sutribe@yahoo.com

OPEN MIC NIGHT AUGUST 2009- Here some pics!

ACOUSTIC OPEN MIC NIGHT in STAMFORD CONNECTICUT - How it got started!

at LONG RIDGE TAVERN HOW IT ALL STARTED OUT!

an initiative of my voice students Shelly, Jessy and Sue. One Thursday evening I went to the Long Ridge Tavern with my fine voice students, Shelly, Sue and Jessy. 
As we shared tea and coffee, Shelly had a sudden inspiration and asked the owner of the Tavern if we could have an Open Mic there, once a month on a Thursday evening and she told the owner that I could host it! My three students joined forces to make this happen, I agreed to do the hosting and they agreed to prepare to perform at the first (and many subsequent) performances. 
And in this manner it came to pass that the first Open Mic was held in April 2009 and continued to take place during 2009 and 2010.
I had the task and joy of hosting the Open Mic and connecting and inviting artist, family and friends to participate - my students performed several times, and a number of musicians were very supportive in playing music, with their duos, trios, bands, and with others. I was also able to facilitate some drum circle  playing, and even my children students came over a few times and delighted the audience!
My gratitude goes to my students who came up with the idea, to all supporting musicians, to family and friends who were endlessly there to create a fun atmosphere.

I remember the first Open Mic:

Turns out we had a great crowd! The mood was really fun and supportive, my students sang, songwriter Andy played his original songs, Randy Brody soloed on the Hang Drum, Rupert brought the house down with 'King of the Road', Julie and Donna sang great together, Terry brought his 12 string and had us all singing 'A Horse with No Name', Charles and Dave sang 'Vamonos', their original song before going away on their South American trip and the band Satin Jack traveled from Boston to make it to the Open Mic and they were awesome! I did the opening and closing set singing and playing guitar with Gordon also on guitar, Phil and Laura on drums! Mark Hinkley joined us some time after and added his great keyboard sound and creativity to the mix!

Thanks to all the musicians, their families and friends who came during those two years to enjoy the music and the ambience at the Long Ridge Tavern!
