Slow-motion photography is fascinating! Here is a blob of mercury sitting on a plastic lens which is stuck to a speaker using Silly Putty. When a tone is played through the speaker, the mercury responds. It forms geometric shapes that change as the frequency changes. The music was added later...
From a diamond to a star to a circle, this is best when it is slowed down. For comparison, here is the video at regular speed with the original tones:

Boy, that was fascinating to watch. I really liked seeing what the frequency did to the mercury at regular speed- fascinating.
