If moss could make music, what would it sound like? We asked our friend, the Dublin-born and trained composer, Brian Ledgwidge, one afternoon over a video chat. Brian came back with several ideas, some of which you can listen to here [insert]. We finally selected one and decided to pare it down to a simple melody, a private moss concert that only the possessor of the box could hear.
Tracking down someone to make the mechanism and the box turned into a two-year quest, with many twists and turns. In the end, we found the helpful folks at Only One Music Box and the incredibly talented woodworker, Nathan Standley (our owner’s cousin).
Box made from cherry and maple wood. Measures 3” wide x 3” long x 2” high.
Musical composition by Brian Ledgwidge.
