mobile app + desktop designer for crowd-scale live performance via synced mobile devices
Total audiovisual immersion.
No gear required.
live design on a truly massive scale
Imagine you could light up an entire city on cue and turn it into one collective speaker, without buying any lights, cables, amps, or gear. We created Wavelength to make this seemingly insane dream possible. All you need is your laptop, some creativity, and an audience.
Wavelength is an accessible design & performance platform that perfectly syncs mobile devices together over cellular and wifi to create immersive live experiences. It gives artists the ability to create incredible audiovisual spectacles in any space, on any budget, and creates performance possibilities on unprecedentedly massive scales.
A Platform for Pros & Consumers Alike
Resonator was designed to be both approachable & intuitive for brand new creators as well as deeply featured and scalable for professional production designers ready to take it to stage. User testing & feedback has always been the most important part of our entire design process, and for version 2.0 our community led us to land in-between a consumer media editing software and a professional lighting console. The end result is a design & performance process exponentially smoother and more flexible than any other live tool on the market.
Please don't silence your cell phones
I co-founded the app with my long-time friend Aditya Sawhney and raised full funding while in college. We started by working in the Highline Park using free Google wifi, and built to to having our own office & team. As artists ourselves, we wanted to create a platform that would empower more people to express themselves in totally new and exciting ways. Our first users were viscerally excited about taking control of their own devices--a concept of creative ownership they'd never experienced before. Performers had been fighting a losing battle to silence cell phones since their invention, and Wavelength gave them the power to turn these apparent distractions into invaluable artistic tools & instruments.
