Thor 7,504 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 This is cool, and Williams was the first that popped to my mind:http://www.livescience.com/33673-tree-rings-sound-record-player.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,012 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Burrarum!Speaking of which, would it not have been fun if Williams ever composed a cantata in Entish for soloist chorus and orchestra? Maybe based on Treebeard's poetry? But then again, it would have been a loooooooooong piece.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 That would be a fantastic idea! I am sure Williams would approve of the idea of the shepherds of the trees! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,714 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 A tree-playing record player -- John Williams would approve!Yeah, sure. Chopping trees to make shitty music... I'm sure the guy would love that.It is kind of like taking a tree, cutting it down and *gasp* making instruments like violins, celli or violas out of them...Many trees died to bring us this music.

Incanus 5,714 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 That's why Zimmer is actually more of a tree-lover than John Williams ever will be: no trees are harmed during the making of his scores.And Hansy boy still uses a full complement of strings in every score but makes them sound synth BB!

Jay 37,364 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 You know what. I cannot recall if I've ever read BloodBoal discuss a Williams' score or not..... Robin Hood score, sure. Final Fantasy scores, Giacchino scores. Current movies, anime movies, Game of Thrones.But Williams.... hmmm I cannot recall! What brought you hear, BB?

Jay 37,364 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Yea, but you can just play the 20th anniversary release of JP on Spotify while you are working or driving or something. Not exactly a big undertaking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,504 Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 There's some machine that is 'translating' the reading of the tree rings into piano sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 It's the translation that I'm suspicious about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
