Musical box playing the bocaggio march (f. Von suppé). It is my own recording my most loved melody played from one of some more 11" metal records on my regina musical box.
3rd in chromatic order. I recorded 16 notes from a music box. I waited for the motor to loose juice then i wound it forward manually so i could record each separate note chromatically. There are two octaves plus one note. Begins with d and climbs up the scale ending with e.
One note from an antique wind-up toy. Recorded with a relatively low-quality mic at a close distance; you can hear the machine of the music box churning and some faint ambient humming.
This piece is created by two recordings of me winding and playing my mother's music box, two projection machines, and a parrot harmonic that my father gave me.
