Pretty cool, someone custom-built a record player that is able to "play" cross-sectional slices of tree trunks

My daughter showed me this yesterday, really interesting.

I love it! It's like it's recorded it's life in some odd way. Random, yet soothing.

It is very interesting. Of course there is a lot of interpretation going on there about what certain ring attributes should sound like. It seems (appropriately) that the defects are very dramatically portrayed. Very surrealistic - to quote an album of my period growing up.
