A Complete Build

This was a complete effort. ADE worked tirelessly with Neil and his team to bring Neil's vision to life.

Built as a collection of SaaS services we were able to create an entirely new and scalable platform for Neil. With over 200,000 users registering over the initial launch weekend this platform stood up to the load and has been evolving ever since.

Neil's Vision

What started as a DVD BoxSet was re-imagined as Neil's new home on the internet.

Dig Deep

The experience is meant to feel like browsing through an old record store or records archive.

Niel's vision was that he wanted users to serendipitously discover content, less then playing all their old favorites.

A Box Set

Tumblin' Thru The Years

It started as an interactive Blu-Ray DVD set. It evolved into something much more.

Time Fades Away

The Hearse Theater

Watch them in the Hearse Theater with content from some of Neil's friends.

Neil's News

With NYA's Times Contrarian Neil is able to share news and updates with subscribers and fans to keep them up to date with all that's going on and coming up. Neil also openly shares his unique perspective on everything that's going on in the world.

Like a Hurricane

Neil's Home Online.

ADE was approached originally by Toshi Onuki the visual artist who created the original DVD box set designs helping to find a development partner who could meet Neil's requirements and budget.

By utilizing a collection of services and tools for our infrastructure ADE was able to focus our budget for "custom" work on implementing the designs in a way that felt analog and organic.

We integrated with Orastream a adaptive bitrate online music provider and one of Neil's partners to ensure that the user's were able to get high-fidelity sound up to Neil's exacting standards.
