Oak Apple Orchestra
A collection of instruments and objects played by clock motors. Oak apples, attached to the second hand of the clock, hit the strings at two second intervals, they strike and fall back. Each instrument has several clock motors which are positioned to select the desired notes, this selection then repeats to create an endless rhythm. The structure of  intervals between the notes is essentially random, the moment when each battery is connected determines its position in the two second sequence, this structure provides the temporal framework for the recurring motif.
