The Sound of Time

Many astronomers and composers have used nature and the cosmos as an inspiration source to create their music or to discover the mathematics of the cosmos. (Kepler's "Music of the spheres" comes to mind).

Let's take this more literally.

Ice-cores from different parts of the Greenland and Antarctic icesheet: look at the layers, designate a musical note or a tonal difference to each distance between the layers. Scan the cores, and let's listen to what it gives.

Tree concerto with different species: same simple technique: designate tone to distance between rings, and listen to the music.

Geological formations, idem dito. Grand Canyon's hidden music. Dover's Chalk Rock Concerto.

Living and dieing creatures: cell multiplication or starvation in plants: equate their rythm with a tone, track them under the microscope and let's listen.

This is probably backed, even though I'm not sure.

If not, just think of the Grand Global Warming Concerto: the ice-layers of the Greenland ice-sheet will become smaller these past and future few years. I can hear the music: 10,000 years ago, very cold, long, low tones... then heating up, more rythm,... the Small Ice Age slows things back down, ... but then suddenly a grand finale, a crazy, hellish, hot rythm, 19th century... 20th century... feverish, chaotic mess... 21st century... sounds almost like an explosion...
