Open a cross-section photo
Choose a photograph of a cut tree. TreeSong makes an initial estimate of the wood and its centre.
Tree-ring sonification
Hear a tree's growth in music.
TreeSong turns a photograph of a tree cross-section into a unique, layered piece of music. Follow the rings, tune the sound, and make an image you can listen to.

A new way to spend time with a tree.
Every tree ring marks another period of growth. TreeSong lets you explore that visible rhythm as sound: narrow and wide intervals, texture, direction, and repetition can all become part of the result.
It is made for curiosity, creative listening, classroom conversation, and turning a striking tree photograph into something personal and shareable.
From photo to sound
Start with the rings you can see.
TreeSong keeps the connection between the image and the music visible throughout the process.
Explore the growth path
See the detected ring boundaries on the image and adjust the path when you want a different reading.
Play, shape, and share
Build a mix from different sound layers, preview it, then export the result as a WAV audio file or video.
See it in action
Watch a tree become music.
This short example shows TreeSong's visual analysis and the generated sound it produces.
The resulting sound is shaped by the selected image analysis and mix settings.
One image, many interpretations
Build a sound that follows the tree.
Choose the musical layers that feel right for the photo. Each offers a different way to turn visible patterns into sound.
Growth melody
Successive ring widths become a gentle sequence of notes, with their spacing guiding the movement of the melody.
Growth pulse
Ring intervals set the spacing and strength of low rhythmic pulses for a grounded sense of motion.
Growth drone
Slow, sustained tones follow the overall growth pattern and add an ambient foundation beneath the mix.
Whole-tree layers
Optional texture, compass, time-loop, and spectrogram layers make patterns around the full cross-section audible too.
Made for exploration. TreeSong is a creative listening tool, not a scientific dating or diagnostic instrument. A photograph can reveal beautiful patterns, but it cannot by itself explain the exact events that shaped a tree's life.
