Make Ur Own (Music Box Kit)

Video / Mixed Media
Germany, 2014

"The mechanical music box kit is a great way to learn and create music. The kit includes...
a music box
3 melody strips
a hole punch
...along with an instruction booklet and a premade sample music strip"
The box has been a birthday present, I guess in order to challenge my creativity within these limited possibilities of variation.
So far I have not punched a single hole into the stripes.
