Artist Bartholomaus Traubeck has created musical masterpieces, by playing trees. He created a record player that translates the different colors and textures of tree rings into music. Rather than use a needle like a record, sensors gather information about the wood and turn them into piano notes. Every tree sounds vastly unique due to varying characteristics of the rings, such as strength, thickness and rate of growth.

All you need to know about the Drum Language of the Congo

The Lokele people of the Congo use two-tone log drums to communicate phrases in their language.  They can accomplish this because their language is tonal.  That is, each syllable in a word has a high or low tone.  The tonal patterns that result in their speech are the same tonal patterns that they drum.  By communicating in this way, they create drum language in which their vocabulary is always understood in the context of phrases.  Listen to Phil explain how this works by pressing the Play button below.

Why Pygmies Aren't Scared By The 'Psycho' Theme

I found this interesting article about music & perception written by Michaeleen Doucleff:


Try listening to the Star Wars' Cantina Band song without smiling, or to the Psycho soundtrack without feeling a little tense.

But what if you had never heard Western music before. Would these songs still make you feel the same way?

Scientists at McGill University and the University of Montreal got the rare opportunity to answer that question. Their findings, published Wednesday in Frontiers in Psychology, suggest that music isn't always a universal language.

Wolfgang Tillmans - Wie stellt man Musik aus?

Warum gibt es eigentlich keinen öffentlichen Ort, an dem man Musik in der Studio-Qualität hören kann? Der Künstler Wolfgang Tillmans schafft Abhilfe und hat in seinem Berliner Projektraum ein Musikzimmer eingerichtet.

Quiz for all fans of typography and music

Fact: Any band who uses Times New Roman on their album cover isn't going to make it in the music industry. (Feel free to prove us wrong, though). Smart typography selection is as important to a band's image as having a memorable logo.

In 1937, industrial designer and typographer Gerry Powell, designed an extremely condensed typeface named Onyx that became very popular among advertising type in the 1940s because it allowed more characters to be used when space was limited or costly.

Cut to present day and any 90s kid will identify Powell's Onyx typeface as "Nirvana font", thanks to typesetter Grant Alden. According to nirvana-legacy.com, Alden was paid $15 to assist the graphic designer originally hired to create the cover art for Nirvana's Bleach in 1989. Nirvana's signature smiley face, drawn by Cobain, is another "mental shortcut" to identify the band.

Time to test your typography knowledge and the following bands' branding skills. Can you identify these famous acts by their typefaces? Answers provided on the last page.

Neanderthal Bone Flute Music

Short film, full title is Playing the Neanderthal flute of Divje babe, is authored by Sašo Niskač, music is performed by Ljuben Dimkaroski, scientific adviser is Dr. Ivan Turk, archaeologist. Extraordinary find from 1995 in Divje babe cave site, western Slovenia, it is most comprehensively described in the paper athttp://www.cpa.si/tidldibab.pdf, was met with great enthousiasm on one side and with great scepticism on the other side of the scientific audience, for details see http://www.greenwych.ca/divje-b.htm. Only in 2009 the dilemma if the holes in the bone were accidental or purpose-made, was finally resolved. Ljuben Dimkaroski, member of the Ljubljana Opera Orchestra for 35 years (trumpet), was given a clay replica of the flute by the curator of Slovenian National Museum on occasion of Ljuben's exhibition "Image in Stone". In his dreams, about a year later, he got a clue of how to play this prehistoric instrument. The result you can see and hear by yourself, or live, performed on a concert, at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38AFm-TUywE

First attempt in history to record sound and moving image in synchronization (two men dancing).

This short film was a test for Edison's "Kinetophone" project, the first attempt in history to record sound and moving image in synchronization. This was an experiment by William Dickson to put sound and film together either in 1894 or 1895. Unfortunately, this experiment failed because they didn't understand synchronization of sound and film. The large cone on the left hand side of the frame is the "microphone" for the wax cylinder recorder (off-camera). The Library of Congress had the film. The wax cylinder soundtrack, however, was believed lost for many years. Tantalizingly, a broken cylinder labeled "Violin by WKL Dickson with Kineto" was catalogued in the 1964 inventory at the Edison National Historic Site. In 1998, Patrick Loughney, curator of Film and Television at the Library of Congress, retrieved the cylinder and had it repaired and re-recorded at the Rodgers and Hammerstein Archive of Recorded Sound, Lincoln Center, New York. Since the Library did not possess the necessary synchronizing technology, Loughney - at the suggestion of producer Rick Schmidlin - sent multi-Oscar winner Walter Murch a videotape of the 17 seconds of film and an audiocassette of 3 minutes and 20 seconds of sound with a request to marry the two. By digitizing the media and using digital editing software, Murch was able to synchronize them and complete the failed experiment 105 years later. This 35mm film was generously made available to the Internet Archive by Walter Murch and Sean Cullen.

Musik und inszenierte Körper

Im Zeitalter der Neuen Medien hat sich unsere Beziehung zum menschlichen Körper verändert. Jahrhunderte lang blieb, durch Religionsverbote, der Körper tabu und versteckt. In der Kunst durfte er sich nur in eingeschränkten Rahmen bewegen. In einem Tanz, in der Musik, im Theater, musste der Körper bestimmten Regeln folgen, die Choreographie, die Partitur und den Dirigent, den Regisseur und den Text. Erst im 20. Jahrhundert, vor allem ab den 50'er Jahren, entwickelte sich unsere Verhältnis zum Körper. In Amerika, befreite der Jazz den Körper und bindet ihn an die Musik, der Körper wird für sich selbst beachtet. Der Körper hat neue Funktionen gefunden und stellt uns zahlreiche Fragen: Frage der Identität: bin ich mein Körper, gehöre ich zu ihm, oder gehört er mir? Frage der Grenze zwischen dem Realen und dem Virtuellen, dem Individuum und der Gruppe. Anhand Beispielen der modernen Kunst (Musikvideos; Installationen) werde ich die Rolle des Körper untersuchen. Die drei folgenden Kapitel sollen uns führen: Körper als Instrument, Körper in Bewegung und rekonstruierte Körper.
