Scores (2024) are part of the Notes and Folds series, works that link form and sound, matter and code. Their handmade textile patterns function as a score played on a music box with a small crank that the audience moves to hear handcrafted music. The pleated textile pattern, handmade by the artist herself, is transformed into a sonic experience thanks to a punched card that allows the music box to play with the pattern, similar to player pianos or mechanical looms. Inspired by Patterns by Morton Feldman and composer Conlon Nancarrow—whom Muñoz studied after living in his home studio for several years—this work reinterprets sound creation as an artisanal and technological act.
