The Gun Music Box is a hand made all steel music box that produces the sound by firing real guns. We tried to give another meaning to guns, instead of firing them at someone we used them to make a music track. The track made is also a song about peace.
This video is not a comment on Paris attacks or any violent outbursts in any way. This is a general take on the state of peace, that it sometimes lacks some punch to be noticed and evaluated.

Lyrics:
war is hell but peace is fucking boring
we will make a peace more interesting for you
you care for peace? of course you care
but peace has not enough intrigues to share
just pass this on - you say it can wait?
should we stop playing and decapitate?
you think war is bad - it makes you eat less
but during peace you eat more and you look like mess
war gets a budget and believe me it's big
peace needs the same - like my lips need lipsync
war attracts attention, war attracts views
we brought ten guns to get views on youtube
peace is boring, although peace is right
so we announce the peace with some guns tonight
peace needs the tools of war
peace needs the tools of war to be noticed
use the means of war to make peace
invade the screens
create your dating strategies
don’t fight for oil - you better fight myths
if you’re into politics - give a benneton kisssss
camouflage
be the one with nature
reinforce your cv
become a major
peace peace peace peace peace peace peace
it ain't the war - but I will never retreat
