Aether Cone

Before Amazon Alexa and “Hey Google”, there was Cone. The smart speaker which learned your musical preferences and made suggestions for what to listen to. Aether, formerly known as Morse Project, was a start up in San Francisco which set out to use learning algorithms and a partnership with Rdio (a Spotify competitor) to build a precursor to the smart speakers which have become ubiquitous in our homes. 

Aether Cone is the first music player that learns what you like to play what you love, creating a personalized music experience based on your life and the world around you. It uses complex algorithms to understand when, where and how loudly you listen to play the perfect song for the moment – offering an untethered experience without an app or remote. Aether Cone’s voice control allows you to ask for a song, making it customizable yet approachable. Its intuitive interface and shape, which is derived from the symbol of sound in its purest form, allude to how and why you use it without being an overtly technological piece. Aether Cone makes music simple.
