One control, one job
Each button, knob, and fader has a clear purpose. No hidden modes. No menu maze.
What we're building.
A tactile field recorder and a studio editor — standalone hardware that lets you capture, cut, arrange, and mix audio entirely by touch. No screen, no mouse, no menu hierarchy. Knobs, faders, and motorized transport give you direct, physical control over every step of the audio workflow.
Currently in prototype. Hardware development at Stanford CCRMA.
Motion carries meaning
Motorized controls can tell your fingers where you are without a robot voice narrating the room.
Less is more
GUIs invite feature bloat. Physical tools make room for simplicity, confidence, and ease.
Make the sighted envious.
Accessibility is too often treated as an afterthought. BLIND ENVY starts with blind creators, then asks a better question: what if the most accessible tool is also the most elegant one?
