The Beauty of the Lissajous

A Guided Tour
2

📰 Today on Music and Math and Feelings, a guided tour of “lissajous curves” — the fascinating and gorgeous forms that pose, pulse, and dance when you play pure tones into an oscilloscope.


In this video:

  • seeing the “sweep” mode and the “XY” mode

  • laugh at me when I see a circle and try to sound smart by calling it a “parametric function.”

  • knobs that make it rotate and give you trails

  • visualizing just intonation and equal temperament

  • improvising pretty music pictures

  • special guest: B, D, N, and Q trains and also the bridge people
