Have you ever thought about listening to a tree trunk? Surprisingly, tree rings can produce music, much like a vinyl record.

Artist Bartholomaus Traubeck made this concept a reality by creating a record player that translates tree rings into melodies. Using a PlayStation Eye camera and Ableton Live, his device converts the rings’ unique patterns into piano music.

Each tree has its own distinct song, revealing a haunting yet beautiful harmony. Traubeck’s innovation allows nature to “speak” in an entirely new way, reminding us that the wonders of the natural world extend beyond sight and touch—into sound.
