A.I. Generated melody.
Prompt:
I have a great-great grandmother who lived around the 1750's. When she was young, she had this music box, which she would play endlessly. It was a simple, comforting and melancholic melody of about 2 minutes, and the whole song was playable within two c octaves. It was a slow, almost dreamy tune. It might have been based on a waltz but I don't remember. She used to dance to it, so it had a steady rythm, although some parts were a bit more rubato. It reminds me of modern songs like 'once upon a december', although mostly because it is a music box and it sounds somewhat sad. I imagine if I heard it now, it would somehow sound familiar, even though I've never heard it before. What might that melody have sound like, I wonder, what would the musix box sheet music have looked like, I wonder?


Hole punch paper strips Export

Yay! It looks like this melody can be played offline on a 30 note paper strip music box!

All you need to do is:

  1. Get a 30 note DIY Music Box Kit from our online store page if you don't have one
  2. Export the melody to PDF with paper strips, print it out and cut with scissors. Make sure to use the right paper size and set you printer scale to 100%, otherwise the size won't match. It's better when paper strips are thick, so if you are going to use thin office paper, we recommend you to glue two or three layers together. Another option is to laminate paper strips with a transparent duct tape
  3. Punch holes with a tool from the music box kit
  4. Enjoy your favorite melody playing on a real music box!
