That is not a record - that is a cross-section of a fucking tree. And it sounds like this.
A tree’s year rings are analysed for their strength, thickness and rate of growth. This data serves as basis for a generative process that outputs piano music. It is mapped to a scale which is again defined by the overall appearance of the wood (ranging from dark to light and from strong texture to light texture). The foundation for the music is certainly found in the defined ruleset of programming and hardware setup, but the data acquired from every tree interprets this ruleset very differently.

i wonder what the algorithm was for creating this, it’s fascinating
Sadly this tree is a much better pianist than I am.
