Sounds like Liberace with St Vitus' dance.

Beautiful and haunting

But...

Has anyone seen the movie 'The Happening' ?

Just hope this isn't a trigger for an event like that, would truly suck to be honest!!

Very intriguing. I really could listen to it all day, even though it makes me feel strange.

I think it is very telling that one can hear the different type of tree's life cycles. The first tree's life was simple with one burl in the middle. The second tree's life was all over the place, imperfect, but somehow uniform.

Thank you for posting.

I caught the difference too. The burl on the first one was an injury maybe? That trees musical number "crashed" every time the burl came around on the player. It's growth seemed muted...

Whereas the second tree was more "vibrant" with life? Want to hear more of these.

The first tree, according to the fellow who make the recordings, was a Douglas Fir. You can see that the rings are fairly well spaced on the record. So, I think that the tree may have lived in a forest or similarly protected place, but had some type of stress that resulted in the burl. Maybe a branch fell off or was struck by lightning?

The second tree is apparently an Ash tree. The rings are very close together, You can see discolorations on the rings, but it looks like it had a fairly healthy life.

I agree, I'd like to hear more from various types of trees.

I keep watching the video - it amazes me every time I watch it.
