Subtle movement on tuning

An interesting project by Japanese artist Seiichiro Matsumura.

Subtle movement on tuning
In old days we used the radio with tuning dial. For catching the wave and listening to the radio broadcast in clear sound we moved the dial little by little with very much attention. Remember how did we feel when we get it and suddenly the proper voice is coming out. In that era we might treat machine with more carefulness and did the densed communication with them.
Nowadays things get easier. For listening the radio broadcast you can just push the preset switch. It is convinient but don't we might lose some kind of feeling, gladness and concentration.
"Balance of Tuning Process" revives the old good days tuning way with the special interface, the "Balance".
The shaft of balance is connected to another shaft for controling tuning dial of the radio.
All of structure except the radio is hand-made of brass plate, sticks and wires.
If you want to listen to the broadcast you need to put the weights to plates carefully and adjust the tilt of the shaft. You can also enjoy noises between the broadcast channels
Please take a time and experience subtleness of catching the wave.
