The audio begins in a room filled with the sounds of a late afternoon on November 27, 2011. Within the room, the playful atmosphere is conveyed through the occasional chimes of a child's toy being played with. The toy, however, emits faint sounds, indicating its low battery status. As the toy continues to function, its once clear and high-pitched tone begins to fade, breaking down in the background. The once cheerful chirping now takes on a distorted quality, its sonorous rhythm replaced with a slurred auditory experience that adds an eerie layer to the atmosphere. The toy's speech, once clear and lively, now sounds distorted and unrecognizable, the low batteries causing its phrases to be drawn out and unclear. The audio piece captures the essence of a toy on low battery, its broken state contributing to a soundscape that's both nostalgic and slightly unsettling.
