<< The spider lives in an environment of vibrating strings, (..) They don't see very well, so they sense their world through vibrations, which have different frequencies. (..) Such vibrations occur, for example, when the spider stretches a silk strand during construction, or when the wind or a trapped fly moves the web. (..) Webs could be a new source for musical inspiration that is very different from the usual human experience, >>️ Markus Buehler️
AA << scanned a natural spider web with a laser to capture 2D cross-sections and then used computer algorithms to reconstruct the web's 3D network. The team assigned different frequencies of sound to strands of the web, creating "notes" that they combined in patterns based on the web's 3D structure to generate melodies. The researchers then created a harp-like instrument and played the spider web music in several live performances around the world. >>️
