I still feel pain…

As said by this IFL science article
Bartholomäus Traubeck created equipment that would translate tree rings into music by playing them on a turntable. Rather than use a needle like a record, sensors gather information about the wood’s color and texture and use an algorithm that translates variations into piano notes. The breadth of variation between individual trees results in a individualized tune.
God, give us a long winter
and quiet music, and patient mouths,
and a little pride–before
our age ends.
