Sometime in 2011, Bartholomäus Traubeck noticed a certain similarity between tree rings and grooves on a vinyl record.
Being a multimedia artist, he rigged up a turntable that could play cross-sections of trees like albums, transmitting the data from the rings to a computer program that interpreted them as piano music.
Check out his website for more details and some incredible tree music.

This is insane. I wonder if the fact that tree rings translate into such beautiful music is a hilarious, quirky, earthly coincidence…or a sign of something more.
Thanks for sharing. 🙂
