collaborational works = The Music Box

The "Music Box" is a primitive style art controller. It is simply designed to controller anything with patch point. Turn the crank, activate the handmade switches - precision work and especially beautful and strange. Built into a very old and extremely high quality oak box (lab no. 107).

This piece is currently up for bidding on ebay.

We're simply turning the crank, sometimes fast, sometimes just a bit ata a time or back and forth a lil.

It's should give you a quick idea if nothing else:
