This exhibition featured 19th century acoustic instruments that made sound visible through ribbons of light, vibrating flames, and patterns of sand. It was part of a larger program, “Sensations of Tone: Wave Physics and the Creative Arts,” in which spectral music was performed by soprano Jane Sheldon and the Firebird Ensemble in the exhibition gallery.
