Slice of Life

Quite interesting.

Some guy decided to put slices of trees onto a record player, and created a program to play notes according to the trees' rings.

So this eerie, cacophonous, and yet strangely soothing melody is what the life of a tree sounds like.

Just sounds like a kid playing on a piano in a studio.

Symbolically, I suppose, since it's not exactly hooking up a tree slice onto a recorder. That'd just make ear-raping noises.

Interesting find, nevertheless.

I saw the article about this but I didn't check it out.

You wouldn't know art when it slaps you in the face. Mistress Yoko would like to sing you a song

I have a Masters in Fine Art.

Sounds more like the "death of a tree".

I only saw you display it when picking booze and cameras.

neat

I'll check this out later.

Old as fuck.

Pretty neat, I guess? But since it's just an image of a tree being pushed through a synthesizer I still can't be too impressed by it.

That's pretty eerie sounding, I like it.

Meaning they just put music over a wooden circle spinning in a record player.
Wood grain doesn't have grooves that go in a consistent circle slowly going to the center - wood grain has knots that make it go all over the place.

You may have noticed the camera, instead of of a needle.

As it spins, the camera views the rings- as well as knots and other what-have-you- and plays notes in accordance with waves and concentration of colour.


If it should appeal to thy tastes more, you may imagine it as a slice of a dryad's leg.
