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.

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