Record Player Plays Slices of Wood Interpreting Rings as Music (Video)
By Good News Network Tuesday, July 10, 2012
The rings marking the life of a tree have been turned into music, using a record player that plays slices of wood.
The year ring data -- analyzed for their strength, thickness and rate of growth -- is translated into music using a computer, camera and acrylic glass.
The modified turntable outputs piano music to a scale which is defined by the overall appearance of the wood -- and presumably the environmental events in the life of the tree.
The project by Bartholomaus Traubeck is entitled, Years.

Testimonials
After being in several very depressing conversations with seemingly EVERYONE about the high price of gas, the state of the economy and upcoming presidential election, I don't think I've even smiled in a few days - until I found your site... You've gently reminded me that there is a lot in the world to smile about. Perspective is everything, and despite what appears in mainstream news, good does happen - a lot more than I was lead to believe. - Stacey Long, Hayward, CA
