Dear Mayank Chaturvedi,

I am just curious about the Harmonograph! What does it exactly do?

I believe that the harmonograph creates dynamic visual images of forms
shaped in tonal space by sounds. I also recommend work of Hans Jenny called
Cymatics. Among modern researchers in digital music, I would recommend work
of Bill Alves and Fred Collopy.
