Years


YEARS from Bartholomäus Traubeck on Vimeo.


Bartholomäus Traubeck's record player turns the rings in a cross section of a tree into music. Year rings are interpreted into sound.
"A tree’s year rings are analysed for their strength, thickness and rate of growth. This data serves as basis for a generative process that outputs piano music. It is mapped to a scale which is again defined by the overall appearance of the wood (ranging from dark to light and from strong texture to light texture). The foundation for the music is certainly found in the defined ruleset of programming and hardware setup, but the data acquired from every tree interprets this ruleset very differently."

Railings


"Railings plays on the simple pleasure of picking up a stick and running it along a set of railings to make a lovely “clack-clack-clack” sound. [Greyworld] tuned the railings so that when you ran a stick along them they played “the Girl from Ipanema.”
I'd kill for video of this one...
