What Do Tree Rings Sound Like When Played Like A Record?
Rings on a tree
indicate the age of the tree, as well as environmental conditions.
Bartholomäus Traubeck created a record-like
player that would translate tree rings into music by playing them.
Sensors gather information about the wood’s color and texture and use an algorithm that translates variations into piano notes.
The album id titled “Years,” features spruce, ash, oak, maple, alder, walnut, and beech trees. It is available to download
and will be available to purchase on vinyl in August.
