This is the result of SO many attempts to create a sound sculpture out of various electronic devices. Initially the plan was to add on a clock mechanism (handmade) to a radio, so that when wound up the tuner would move creating bizarre static noise along with time, sadly this was impossible. Instead, having regrouped in my head, I went back to initial plans to work specifically with sound and equally importantly with audience participation, so now the viewer has to wind up the handle, then the weight pulls the cog of the tuner round slowly, so you hear the static changing at an appropriate speed. This gives the viewer a new role...you become the artist/composer and musician, fulfilling this new machine's purpose, or at least its function.
I've managed to get my hands on a washing machine, which I will be mucking around with as soon as possible, fun times ahead!
