For nearly nine years, sound artist Ranjit Bhatnagar has produced a handmade instrument each day during the month of February. While he’s tweaked and built over 200 objects that rattle, chime, bang, squeak, and more, most are ephemeral, and only a dozen or so still exist. From a thermometer to a pack of tofu, many of the household objects he uses are far from what one would expect to make music, but the results are playful and curious. They make up a peculiar ritual — a day-to-day devotion to deliberately unsophisticated handicraft.
