During the nineteenth century, a remarkable scientific instrument
known as a harmonograph revealed the beautiful patterns found in
music. Harmonograph is an introduction to the evolution of simple
harmonic theory, from the discoveries of Pythagoras to diatonic
tuning and equal temperament. 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. This inspiring book will appeal to musicians,
mathematicians, designers, and artists alike.
