Harmonograph: A Visual Guide to the Mathematics of Music (Wooden Books)
Anthony Ashton
A harmonograph is a simple, yet ingenius invention from the 19th century that creates graphical images of sounds. After describing how to build one, the author shows the results of his own experiments. Beautiful drawings show the octave as triangle, the fifth as pentagram; diagrams show the principles of harmonics, overtones, and the monochord. 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.
