SOMA laboratory / Messeiver Light

MESSEIVER is an irrational device designed to explore the primitive and wild world of radio reception, much like what engineers first experienced in the dawn of radio communication technology.

MESSEIVER is a shortwave receiver capable of picking up radio broadcasts from anywhere on Earth. Its unique feature is that it lacks the classical input tuning circuitry used to select a single station. Instead, MESSEIVER captures the vast majority of the radio ether itself. This allows you to listen to numerous radio stations across the globe simultaneously. The combination of audible stations, their volume, and sound quality are determined by constantly changing global natural phenomena. Weather, solar activity, cosmic rays, clouds, and dozens of other phenomena affect radio wave propagation. The entire Earth acts like a DJ, delivering a unique radio mix to you, unique to this very moment.

MESSEIVER features a premium, vintage-inspired handmade chassis with brass inlays. It incorporates meticulously selected components like a wideband old-school speaker, custom coils, NOS germanium diodes, and vintage neon lamps. All these elements combine to create an unparalleled, distinctive impression and atmosphere.
