description:
A continuous cardstock strip loops through a music box over the course of an hour. Every five minutes, the music box is activated by one of 12 shapes pierced into the strip. Sound repeats in a cycle of twelve notes per hour, creating an ordered randomness that momentarily de-contextualizes time for the listener.
