Spiral
A physical music discovery device where users purchase soap-infused 'records' that play on a gramophone-inspired wheel. Each record contains a complete album, but plays in a layered, matryoshka-style sequence - you hear one track per day, and as the soap slowly wears down with each spin, it physically unlocks the next layer of music, transforming album listening from a binge into a 7-10 day ritual experience.
The Wow Moment
On day 1, you place a fresh soap record on the wheel and hear only the album's opener with crystal clarity. Each morning, the soap has worn down slightly, and the needle drops deeper - suddenly you're hearing layers you couldn't access yesterday. By day 7, as the soap dissolves to its core, you experience the full, rich multitrack revelation - a complete album revealed exactly as the artist intended, with anticipation building daily rather than consumed in one sitting.

Best croissants in the city, but the line's always worth it')
