Full-Cataloguing
"For this project, Marclay has composed Tinsel - a seamless melodic loop without beginning or end that incorporates the gradual slowing of the unwinding mechanism - to play with our expectations of the music box. The box was made in Sainte-Croix by Reuge, the last remaining manufacturer of music boxes in Switzerland." - accompany letterpress card
