Their mission: to explore the fine art of covering contemporary music hits of varying popularity armed only with their wits and a pitch pipe. Since their founding in 2001, they are not only succeeding in this mission, but are having more fun than should be legal in the process. MIT Resonance has entertained audiences far and wide with its unique blend of tight harmonies, energetic performances and cheap puns. For those who can't make it to one of their live shows - or those who just can't get enough - the group has also produced two CDs, "First Harmonic" (2003) and "Left On Red" (2005). Both CDs have received critical acclaim through the Contemporary A Cappella Society of America, and they are currently in the studio (specifically, Fort Resonance) working on a third, as-of-yet untitled production.
You can also hear Resonance's rendition of "Mystify/Atrevete" on the Best of College A Cappella (BOCA) 2006.

a great demonstration.
back in the late 1980's i was given a car owned by 2 older siblings, there was a cassette radio fitted in a box suspended below the dashboard.
the wood box and radio would hit a resonance frequency at about 70kph, and chew the cassette tape. the entire box would swing wildly side to side at just the right forward speed.just below or just above that speed and the tape player would run fine.
i had a lot of fun destroying (and splicing) tapes demonstrating the phenomenon.

Had a similar phenomenon with my car. With the tires out of balance there was a node at 80mph and my whole front end shook. 70mph - no vibrations. 90mph - smoothe as glass. Unfortunately, 80mph is my go to

I used to "play glasses" as a kid. The way it works is that you slide your finger around the top edge of the glass, alternating the velocity of the movement and the pressure applied changes the frequency of sound produced. Having different volumes of liquid inside the glass produces a different sound. I managed to break a couple of glasses accidentally by hitting the natural frequency. Not dangerous but it sure was exciting!

A 1700s physician named Anton Mesmer ("mesmerize") helped make the glass harmonica popular, along with Benjamin Franklin (yeah, that B. Franklin) who was a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences. The "Glass Harmonica" used that very principle of resonating glasses to produce music.

I remember doing something with equations that looked like the ones on the blackboard. Happily brain dumped all the vibrations and control stuff I learned.

Superb ... more fun to watch the glass at the end before it breaks in slow motion ...

Looks like the glass had its own bodyguard to stand watch over it. Didn't work though, it still smashed.
