A video of tree rings being played on a record player has become a viral hit, with the rings playing distorted and disturbing music. Listen below.
The recordings have been created by Bartholomaus Traubeck, who has turned a collection of trees 'date rings' into playable pieces of music for a science project titled Years. Oddly enough, one of the videos online sounds like the distorted closing moments of 'Contact', the final song on Daft Punk's world-conquering Random Access Memories. Listen below.
Meanwhile, the rings of an ash tree have been turned into a gothic-sounding piano composition, which is haunting and deeply unsettling. Listen below.
