For this project, we engraved or printed blank circular music staffs onto sheets of handmade paper or woods pulled from the offices, galleries, or architecture from international museums. Termites eat the museum materials, puncturing holes/notes into the wood staffs, thereby producing new musical compositions in the round. Musicians are invited to arrange the works of the termites. This disk arranged by Kassidy Miller.
