Computers, phones, toys, gaming consoles, artwork. Repair, repurpose, resell. Creating art with "old" technology.

The Crew
A family working together to build automated systems for their businesses. Efficiency, fairness, and community at the core.
Will built Jarvis, an AI operating system, and Bar Pilot — the Wunderbar operations platform. Technology as the backbone.
The audio expertise, the hands-on creativity, and a unique perspective. Together with Dad, building something real.
"I want to keep it all within the family but also provide work for other people who deserve it, for those who actually want to help us in our mission and succeed and get paid fairly for the effort they put in."
The Future
"Live in Lyttelton and beam internet to the bar"
Connectivity as infrastructure. Always on, always ready.
"Open ceiling acoustics — letting the space breathe"
Sound design that works with the room, not against it.
"A device that can take over the audio situation — XLRs, quarter-inch jacks, RCAs"
Universal connectivity. Every input, every output, one system.
"Top-end equipment to match the vision"
No compromises. The gear has to match the ambition.
The future: AI-assisted live mixing, room-aware sound systems, and seamless integration between old and new. Where technology serves the music, not the other way around.
