Have had some intrest wanting to know how this was done. It was time consuming but easy.

Used 2 large pieces of black poster board as the background. A pen light and a cloth napkin to cover the pen to reduce its harsh light.

Shutter was set to 30sec. Would put the pen in front of the speaker, click it on and begin drawing the wave. Usually could get 3-4 waves per shot. Took about 160 takes to get this one. Was a lot of fun. I've recorded/played music for years, so that helped.

Many thanks for all the nice comments.

Light painting? Interesting effect that really does look like sound waves.
