Distributed around the park, in fixed and contrasting locations that require exploring different environments, will be a series of music boxes that visitors can either find by chance or use a map to locate. Visitors will be given a roll of music box paper and a hole punch to use to document their journey through the park in whatever way they wish; they can then play these at each of the music boxes they find. The intention – through both the action of participants and the fixed music box stations – is to create soft, slender traces and fragments of sound and music that permeate the park, catching the ear of visitors as they move through their surroundings and shaping their audiovisual experience of the environment.
