In music, an interval is considered unstable or unresolved when it demands a successive note to bring it to an end. Otherwise it stays hanging in the air, creating a sense of a coming event. The Ding-dong of a traditional door announcer can be considered as a static interval. The listener does not feel the need for the interval to be resolved. Here, an unresolved interval is slowed down and played on a piano. Specially made for the occasion of the exhibition Master Humphrey’s Clock at Het Gebouw, the work is placed at the entrance of the pavilion. It plays every time a person walks through the door, entering or exiting the space. Thus acting as a soundtrack accompanying the exhibition.
