A day in New York, built to put a Pocket Operator in a beginner's hands.

Problem

Electronic music looks hard from the outside. Pocket Operators make it cheap, small and deliberately simple, but the curious people on the fence never get one in their hands.


Record the city, then watch it play back.

Introducing NYC PO Day. Participants pick up a PO-33 K.O! at one of five spots across the city and record with PO:CAP, a recorder I designed to keep every sound they make. At the hub, PO:CAP docks into a 360° bay that turns those sounds into a one-of-one visualizer. Every Pocket Operator is there to try. PO:CAP goes home holding every sound and visual, a keepsake from a day spent exploring sound.
