Cuckoo The Clock(s) {Disquiet 0256} by Ohm Research

We always visit my parents during the holiday, but rarely stay at their house. This year was an exception. My mother and father have numerous clocks, both electric and mechanical, ranging from a massive hand built grandfather clock to a cuckoo clock that is at least as old as I(60 years). The bird in the cuckoo clock has lost its mind, and is prone to ringing out of the blue, regardless of whether it is the proper time for it. Most of the other clocks ring on the quarter hour on their way to the big jam at the top of the hour. Needless to say, the clocks move in and out of sync with each other during the course of the day. This provides some great accidental musical moments for me, which are especially surreal when I am barely awake at 3am. Here is this incidental music phenomenon in brief, captured with hiss and all--if only for about a minute and a half. Consider it a field recording.
