Signals hacker and programmer Oona Räisänen walks through the steps she took to create a a digital music box. The steps include sampling and recording, adding errors, and even adding synthetic artifacts from the teeth and other mechanical components.
From the link:
A little music project I was writing required a melody be played on a music box. However, the paper-programmable music box I had (pictured) could only play notes on the C major scale. I couldn't easily find a realistic-sounding synthesizer version either. They all seemed to be missing something. Maybe they were too perfectly tuned? I wasn't sure.
Perhaps, if I digitized the sound myself, I could build a flexible virtual instrument to generate just the perfect sample for the piece!

I liked it, especially the explanations-as-dialog--they explained it more clearly than my professors had.
