Arduino-powered crane record player brings industrial influence and hands-on controls - Yanko Design
"The crane vinyl record player is envisioned by Love Hultén, artist-designer renowned for reimaging vintage technology, and features a scaled-down version of a crane in place of a traditional tonearm."
"The deliberate tactile control is carried out by a physical control panel on the record player, allowing the user to operate the crane in construction mode, like on a construction site."
"By taking away the convenience of effortless audio playback and adding the fun of participation into the musical act, the crane vinyl player invites the user to learn how movement translates into sound."
"The crane's precise movement is driven by Arduino-powered motors and sensors, enhancing the interactive experience of playing vinyl records."
The crane vinyl record player features an inventive design inspired by construction sites, created by Love Hultén. It replaces the traditional tonearm with a bright red crane, enhancing its industrial aesthetic. Users manually control the crane to navigate the vinyl, transforming the listening experience into an interactive activity. This design emphasizes tactile performance and invites users to engage with music in a new way, as the crane's movements are powered by Arduino technology, making each session unique and participatory.
