This is an excerpt from the record Years, created by Bartholomäus Traubeck, which features seven recordings from different Austrian trees including Oak, Maple, Walnut, and Beech. What you are hearing is an Ash tree’s year ring data. Every tree sounds vastly unique…
It’s measuring light reflected off the rings, but it’s very nice an surreal. I’d buy an album of this.
This is what it sounds like when you put tree rings on a record player.
