About this audio guide
This guide to Museum Speelklok in Utrecht stays inside the medieval Buurkerk, where self-playing music boxes, clocks and organs have replaced the choir. It follows a Swedish musician from the band Wintergatan who walked these rooms in twenty fourteen, and the plywood, screws and steel marbles he went home to. Along the way you meet the gloved conservatory students who set the collection playing.
