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.

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. |
