How a Tree Trunk Sounds on a Record Player

If a timberline avalanche in a backwoods and no one is about to apprehend it, what does it complete like? Well, if you're artists Bartholomäus Traubeck, you just bang the block on a almanac amateur to acquisition out.

Bartholomäus' artwork Years is a adapted almanac amateur that can play cross-sectional slices taken from a timberline block just like LPs. OK, so it's added estimation than annihilation else, because the amateur takes in abstracts from a PlayStation Eye Camera and a stepper motor absorbed to the ascendancy arm, and passes it to a PC. That abstracts again goes beeline to Ableton Live, area it's acclimated to accomplish a addictive piano track.

Interpretation it may be, but it still varies according to the section of copse that's placed on the turntable. What's more, I absolutely like it: it sounds like something beeline out of a abhorrence movie. It's aswell about as abutting to an acknowledgment to that old abstract riddle as we're anytime traveling to get. [Bartholomäus Traubeck via Creative Applications via Make]
