Oda - Live music performances at home from beautiful wood speakers

Oda takes the shape of a home speaker, but within its wooden panels lives a performance space without walls. Created specifically to share a live program of music from some of the world’s most compelling artists. Your home becomes the venue.

Love the design and the concept. Having a set programming schedule is *chef's kiss*. Can you also plug this into...say a record player? Would love to be able to spin some old live recordings with these bad boys.
Nick Dangerfield
@gabe__perez Thanks Gabe. Yes you can play your own music, both by BT and line-in. Old recordings sound *chef's kiss*!

I met the team behind this project last year (pre-COVID). As someone that misses live music, this feels like perfect timing for Oda.
Alexis Ohanian
@rrhoover GOOSEBUMPS, Ryan. Seriously. It wil give you Goosebumps listening to it because it's so intimate.
Alexis Ohanian
I must say -- having been the lead investor and a user from Day 0 -- this is an experience you really need to FEEL (not just listen) to believe. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's transcendent. Listening to live performances feels as intimate as if the artist were there and even when you're using the speakers for Spotify, the sounds are goosebump-inducing... so good.

I love this! Have so been missing live music. Wow - this is the product I didn't know I needed, but now I know it exists I'm excited to preorder.
Alexis Ohanian
@ejsnowdon just wait until you hear it, Emily. it's really special
Emily Hodgins
@alexisohanian I can't wait. I've emailed in to get on the preorder list for UK delivery in Spring. I also want to get my Dad one too. He loves live music as much as I do. This looks (and hopefully sounds!?!) perfect.
Alexis Ohanian
@ejsnowdon A family affair! Lovely. It's really going to move you. Let us know how you all like it.
Emily Hodgins

@odair_faleco Hope you don't mind, I should've told you before publishing

A wooden speaker that brings live music home may seem like a post-Covid idea, but the team has been working on this for 4 years!
Alexis Ohanian
@mhkt That... OR the team has also invented time travel.

I like the approach and love the design too. It may be great if you can add some promo video to see the prototype.

How will this work for European listeners of shows are synchronous and live US times for exemple?
Nick Dangerfield
@bahadourm We only launch in places where we can offer specific programming. The UK comes next. We also need to register with music publishing orgs in every territory.

I like it! Very nice design.
Alexis Ohanian
@kateryna_bibik it definitely feels like something from a simpler time when people really obsessed over craftsmanship.
Jake Gerry
