This week we’re looking at all things optical at Endel

What's the inspiration behind Endel's visuals

Ever wondered what’s the story behind Endel’s mysterious look? Endel co-founder and visual artist Protey Temen explains.
“Spacecraft and witchcraft are my main inspirations for Endel, two themes that help conjure beauty and a sense of infinite possibilities. Endel is constant research. We never imagined trying to make a consumer product. To inspire this feeling of encountering things unseen, a strong sense of extraordinary is most important for me.”



Why does Endel react to touch?
You probably noticed that tapping your screen while using Endel creates a sound and visual reaction. But why? This early feature of Endel was included to bring a lively yet meditative feel to the app. It’s also a reference to a previous project by Endel’s founders – a children’s interactive art app.
