🎶Zurich-based music creator proton d-oo-b traveled to Indonesia’s Kawah Putih volcano with Muro Box-N20Lite for on-location filming, and also captured moments of rare snowfall in Zurich using the N40 music box, preserving pure and delicate notes in the quiet white landscape.
✨He is not only a long-time enthusiast of smart music boxes, but also a true practitioner of traveling with a music box.
📌 He shares:
“The value of a music box goes far beyond its functionality—it feels more like a living instrument. Speakers merely replay sound, but the resonance of a music box is gentle and real. When listening to it, a deep sense of calm naturally arises, something that truly nourishes the soul.”
📌 Beyond this, his distinctive creative approach gives his work a strong and recognizable character:
He generates melodies using random number sequences, then places them within a Renaissance-style musical framework. Some of his works even incorporate AI-generated Chinese poetry readings, intentionally pushing the boundaries between art, technology, and music.
🎧 When performed on a music box, his compositions reveal an ultimate sense of “ordered beauty.” Visit the blog to listen to the striking contrast between his original compositions and their music box interpretations.
📌 He also shared a deeply moving experience that reflects the borderless nature of music:
“The first time I remotely played my own composition using the N20 is a moment I will never forget. I uploaded my MIDI file to the Muro Box website and, through live streaming, watched a music box on the other side of the world perform Snowglobe, a piece I composed at dawn on the morning my mother passed away. It was a resonance beyond distance—almost like a miracle.”
Thank you, proton d-oo-b, for showing us the limitless possibilities of Muro Box. His appreciation of the N40’s sound quality, as well as the emotional connections formed by gifting the N20 to friends and family, continue to inspire us as we move forward.
