A Dendrochronologist's Musical Dream



The next time you're tempted to reach for your growing vinyl collection--don't! Why not listen to some trees instead?
No, you didn't misread that. listen to a slice of a tree (hipsters eat your heart out)

What is this magic? Characteristics of the tree rings are translated into piano music. That's the extent of my knowledge. Read more about the Years project by  Bartholomäus Traubeck HERE.

On a side note, how awesome would it be to be a dendrochronologist? Being able to date things by studying cross sections sounds like something only a superhuman could do. Peak your interest in dendrochronology HERE.
