I find this article captivating. It's about a father and son team who discovered music encoded in a 600-year old statue in Scotland using an ancient musical system called cymatics, or Chladni patterns. Stones on the statue map directly to specific pitches and the statue itself holds a scale for interpreting them.

This kind of time-displaced communication speaks of a patience and will that I don't often encounter in this email-tinged world. For reasons I can't explain it made my eyes tear to hear this music [Link to YouTube video].
