PanARMENIAN.Net - Sony has carried out a 'Cymatics' recreation of Kiesza's hit 'Hideaway' to show how powerful its new MHC-V7D speaker is, Digital Spy reports.

The test involves using paint, vodka and sand to give a visual representation of sound.

Cymatics originates in 1680 with Robert Hooke and refers to the study of making sound visible, usually through controlled displacement of particles on vibrating plates or membranes.

In this case, Sony created sonic water sculptures by placing a petri dish filled with vodka on the MHC-V7D's sub-woofer, followed by a combination of three dancing paints.

As 'Hideaway' plays, the paint is shot in ultra-slow motion as it jumps to the rhythm of the track, the colours mixing and globules of paint falling back to visually paint a picture using the power and sound pressure of the MHC-V7D.

"Our objective was to give the audience a sensory experience like no other; one that reflects the sensations felt when being in the same room as these products," said Cole Paviour, director of Unit 9 who helped make the video

The MHC-V7D delivers soul-shaking bass, with 1550W of sound pressure thanks to Sony's new Smart High Power Technology.
