The chisel and the sinkhole is a sound sculpture made from the common mechanism between European music boxes and mining machinery of the Colonial era in Latin America. The melody it plays is a version of "Aunque mi amo me mate, a esa mina no voy", one of the first protest songs of Latin American black slaves, which was sung in Colombia at the end of XVIII C. during a rebellion of miners. The miners were armed with chisels and hammers, and the musical phrasing of the song is the same as that of funeral marches.
