Working in Olivia's studio in Des Moines, we began to develop the musicbox component of the project. In this case, we developed a bridge of photocells that, when blocked by the very slowly moving textile, trigger some of the time-compressed recordings. We performed with these for the first time in an open studio following this development. 

Special thanks to Austin Stewart, Firat Erdim, and Zach Brown, who fabricated our delightful plexiglass bridge.
