Modified Record Player Plays Years Of A Tree's Cross-Section

YEARS from Bartholomäus Traubeck on Vimeo.

What I gather from the description is: the dude (Bartholomäus Traubeck) modified a record player to optically read the rings of a tree section rotating under it, and output the visual as sound using custom software to covert ring thickness, texture, and color into piano notes.

Thanks to reader Mel for the sweet tipoff!
