Llisten to the patterns of tree rings and birds on a wire - translated to music.
From Livescience.com: Artist Bartholomäus Traubeck has custom-built a record player that is able to "play" cross-sectional slices of tree trunks. The result is his artpiece "Years," an audio recording of tree rings being read by a computer and turned into music, much like a record player's needle reads the grooves on an LP. The custom record player takes in data using a PlayStation Eye Camera and a stepper motor attached to its control arm, and relays the data to a computer. A program called Ableton Live then uses it to generate an eerie piano track.
And here's what Jarbas Agnelli says about his musical work, Birds on the Wire:
"Reading a newspaper, I saw a picture of birds on the electric wires. I
cut out the photo and decided to make a song, using the exact location
of the birds as notes (no Photoshop edit). I knew it wasn't the most
original idea in the universe. I was just curious to hear what melody
the birds were creating."
