Music brings you back to you. — soundefine
soundefine uses your reaction to music as a starting point:
a way to notice your own state, and reconnect with what you're feeling.
The gap we bridge
Your relationship with music
The reality of mental care
From a survey of 172 NEC employees
soundefine lives in that gap.
Even if you can't put it into words,
just checking how the music makes you feel is enough to start seeing yourself.
Why music
"I'm tired." Or maybe you just can't put your finger on it. Putting your own state into words can be harder than you'd think. What soundefine asks of you is simple: just turn your attention to how you react to the music. That alone can become a spark for noticing how you're doing.
The same song can land completely differently depending on your state when you hear it. A favorite song that suddenly doesn't feel right, for no clear reason — you've surely felt that before.

Vision
Music brings you back to you.
The moment you can act on how you feel, before "I have to" —
Small choices like these add up, day after day.
What soundefine is working toward is simple — more people making choices like that, one at a time.
Founder
In an environment where only results mattered, I watched a capable boss — someone who was always attuned to how people around them felt — wear themselves down, and I went through a hard time of my own. At the time, I didn't even know what state I was in. In the middle of that, paying attention to how I felt when I listened to music became a spark, and slowly, I started to reconnect with myself.
Maybe there are a lot of people who don't really know their own state — the way I didn't. With that thought, I'm building soundefine.
