James Blake’s latest album, , is playing on my headphones on my way to meet Oleg Stavitsky, the co-founder of Endel, a Berlin-based audio technology company. As the sun changes to rain, the melancholic, piano-led ambient tracks precisely match my mood. This chance encounter of emotions doesn’t come to surprise Stavitsky as he points out his company’s contribution in crafting the fine tunes. Endel’s creative contribution goes beyond mere collaboration as its sound engine created the final product of the album. This sound engine mimics the composition style of Brian Eno, adjusting to users’ externalities like heart rate and temperature, as well as time of day.
