01 / The experience

Remember choosing a record?

A collection.
Not just a queue.

There’s a feeling to finding an album you love. Recognising the cover. Choosing the first track. Letting it play. Albums brings that feeling to your audio files.

The cover is the invitation.
The music is the reason you stay.

02 / A little less noise

Just you.
And your music.

Albums is built around the collection you already own. Your audio files, presented in a full-screen player that gives music a space of its own.

Once your music is on the player, listening happens offline. Settle in, choose an album and enjoy it.

03 / Listen a little closer

A new way into a familiar song.

There’s more
inside the music.

Stem separation opens up the layers of a recording. Explore the voice, the rhythm and the instruments that make the song.

A favourite album can still surprise you.

04 / Make room for music

A device of your choice.
A purpose of its own.

Albums brings software and a focused interface together to create a dedicated music player. The prototype uses a Xiaomi Pad. The idea starts with the way you want to listen.

01

Bring your collection.

Start with your own audio files and the albums you want to spend time with.

02

Give music its own space.

Use a suitable device as your dedicated player. The hardware supports the experience.

03

Choose an album. Settle in.

Explore the artwork, listen offline and discover another layer of the music.

Albums is in development. Device compatibility and setup guidance will follow.

ALBUMS / IN THE MAKING
A working project

Made to be
listened to.

Albums is already taking shape: a real collection, an album-led interface and a tablet with one clear purpose.

06 / Why Albums exists

Some things deserve
their own device.

“An e-book for music.”

Albums is part of James Casey’s work on single-function devices: technology designed around one clear purpose. It brings console design, software and the experience of listening together.

The starting point is simple: give your music collection the attention it deserves.
