Hans Jenny and OM


I sent an email today to the publisher of Hans Jenny's book "Cymatics" (Jeff Volk) asking if he can direct me to the source of a reference I've come across many times on the web. The reference relates to the intoning of the chant "OM" into a tonoscope. This is said to have produced a pattern that bares a striking resemblance to the Hindu "Sri Yantra" pattern. 

While this is obviously intriguing, I cannot find a single reference to the source of this claim, which raises my concern as to whether this phenomenon exists. 

Note:
RE: OM, Tonoscope & Sri Yantra
Apparently, the source of this tonoscope-OM relationship is from Dr. Lawrence Blair in his book "Rhythms Of Vision: The Changing Patterns Of Belief".
