This is what the rings of a tree sound like!!

I clicked a link over at Jim Stones' website. www.jimstonefreelance.com

They took a thin slice of a tree and put it on a record player. The information is read with a lazer, and translated into piano sounds.




I remember Alex Collier saying that higher beings would enjoy the sounds of planets and suns and universes,,, as opposed to listening to music. I can see why!

The universe is a musician.....

Artist Bartholomäus Traubeck has custom-built a record player that is able to "play" cross-sectional slices of tree trunks. The result is his artpiece "Years," an audio recording of tree rings being read by a computer and turned into music, much like a record player's needle reads the grooves on an LP. The tree rings are actually being translated into the language of music, rather than sounding musical in and of themselves. According to Makezine, the custom record player takes in data using a PlayStation Eye Camera and a stepper motor attached to its control arm, and relays the data to a computer. A program called Ableton Live then uses it to generate an eerie piano track. Though the record player "interprets" rather than actually "playing" the tree trunk, the song still varies with each new piece of wood placed on the turntable.

Ah! Music, Sound, Creation. Perhaps they all go hand in hand. The sacred geometry of the universe carries a tune!!

Remember this experiment? It is called a chladni plate.. "It uses a tone generator, a wave driver (speaker) and a metal plate attached to the speaker. First add sand to the plate then begin playing a tone. Certain frequencies vibrate the metal plate in such a way that it creates areas where there is no vibration. The sand “falls” into those areas, creating beautiful geometric patterns. As the frequency increases in pitch the patterns become more complex."

Hi Jake,
I think that the output was put through a piano filter. So I would think that the output would be very different if it was fed through another filter.

well, no its not real... merely a question of interpretation. in this case the piano sounds are triggered by the impulses generated by a visual interface reading the pattern of the wood. you could put pretty much anything with a bit of pattern and contrast on that record player and thats what it would sound like...

funnily enough, I am always on his site and I have never ever noticed this? I always end up on doom and gloom bits but this is very cool
