Recordist's notes

In the gift store at the Miro foundation, there were mini music boxes on one of the shelves. the cylinders would spin when you moved the crank. they were all in very worn condition and the mechanisms did not work properly. my friend and i were spinning different music boxes playing the theme songs of different movies. in the background, you can hear the conversation between the customer and the salesperson.
