[78-L] Record player plays "tree ring" disc

[Kristjan Saag]

Trying to steer away from the puns...
I find the musical result fascinating - because the algorithms used for 
transferring the wooden structure into tones and rhythm are well chosen. 
Reminds me of similar efforts making "music" out of heart rhythms, 
breathing, raindrops, the movements of the planets etc. Some pretty 
dull, other unbearable to listen to.
These sounds, though, succeed in imaging extremely slow processes, 
without the performance-like extremes of Cage et al.
As to the correspondence between the sounds and the images - forget it. 
This is not science, but an artist's play with musical variables and 
physical constants. It's up to us to like the results of his or her 
imagination or not.
