I love it when I come across something that - on the surface - seems to have nothing to do with occupations or occupational therapy but that - when I really think about it - has some sort of connection.
YEARS from Bartholomäus Traubeck on Vimeo.
This musical track, entitled Years, has a really cool back story that I think connects to the lives of the clients we are privileged to come to know as occupational therapy practitioners and, as I am in my current role, OT educators. This music is played on a record player that was specially designed to play slices of wood. When a circular horizontal cut of a tree is placed on the turntable, the rings, which represent years of life for the tree, are translated into music. Like humans, the music that results from each slice is unique.

WOW! I wish there was a way to play the music starting at the center, though, to go from the birth of the tree through it's last ring before being cut down. I wonder how that would sound! Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
