Artist: years

For those of you that missed it, German artist Bartholomäus Traubeck is a genius. Why? Well, Traubeck has created a way to translate tree rings into music in a project appropriately titled "Years." These circular patterns inside tree trunks have long since been a way to learn about the life of a tree, which seems like a rather dry way of discovering the details on these significant organisms. On the other hand, music has always presented itself as an exciting and terrific way of documenting history, as well as the best, most genuine way of expressing one's story, [...]

It's been almost three months and it's about time I post the before and after pics of the RV. It might show that I've got a history being Art Director for an Interior Magazine... haha.

And when pulling off the old pinkish wallpaper a whole bunch of waterleaks apperad as well. But most of it has been taken care of now. We spent two weeks rippng everything out [...]

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.

Este tipo de vídeos son los que apuñalan mi productividad de la forma más contundente. Lo que van a ver a continuación es una tornamesa modificada para "reproducir" los anillos del tronco de los árboles como si fueran notas musicales. Bartholomäus Traubeck es el nombre del alemán que inventó esta maravilla y la llamó Years. El proceso lo explica así: "Los anillos de los árboles se analizan conforme a su profundidad, grosor, y ritmo de crecimiento. Estos datos sirven como base para un proceso que genera música de piano. Ésta se asocia [...]

Here are the results... Tomas [...]
