The Music Box
Kill your Timid Notion, Dundee Contemporary Arts
2004

The Music Box Installation was a part of the Kill your Timid Notion -festival. Later on it made of part of the Grönlund - Nisunen -solo show.

The Music Box is a completely dark, acoustically softened room. In the center of the room there is a sound proof cabinet with a glass top and a mechanical music box on a rotating platform which makes the music box mechanism to play a too slow version of Internatonale, old Soviet anthem. Each corner of the cabinet has a tiny microphone connected to a speaker in corresponding corner of the room. The rotation of the music box changes the balance of the four speakers and the music box sounds like rotating around the room.
