Tone of Day
What tone is it? It's just after A sharp. |

This idea is for a timepiece that continuously plays a string with a bow while a fret mechanically moves up the string and back down again to gradually change the pitch throughout a day.
Imagine the timepiece as an upright string with a violin bow playing it back and forth (like a pendulum). The day
begins at, say, C, rises one octave after 12 hours, and lowers again back down to C.

You could set it to slow. |

[+] (but why only one string? - surely with two or more strings you could do more?) |

Have any serious composers ever worked with the 12 chords (dyads?) found on a touch-tone phone? |

How about Tome of the day? - a random book falls out of a hatch in the ceiling at measured intervals..... na - stupid idea. |

Tomb of the day, different architectural and historical styles are projected onto a screen or onto a plain 3D cuboid. |

Thanks Ian for the link, but that sounds to me like the line tones rather than the handset tones I was meaning. |

Toast of the day? Right now where I'm at it's half past rye. |
