Muro Box is the world’s first app-controlled mechanical music box that can play unlimited melodies you love. It will be your personal pianist to play the songs you love at your command. “Telling Your Stories with Technology” is our vision because we hope that technology not only brings us convenience in life, but also shortens the distance between people. Therefore, we invented the music box that can play your own memories. We hope the music box will become each family’s heirloom to preserve their own unique memories. After receiving our doctoral degrees in the US, we decided to integrate our expertise in engineering and education to start our own company. A tiny music box we bought in Austria when we first knew each other was the seed that inspired our startup dream. While we were recalling our shared memories in the past 10 years, we decided to redesign its cylinder to let it play more melodies of our own choices, and then our product development journey began in 2016. My first job after getting my doctoral degree in Electrical Engineering was at Intel's headquarters in Silicon Valley. At that time, I didn't really know what entrepreneurship was all about. I had a close colleague with extensive work experience who would often talk about the various adventures he had experienced in a startup company. Compared to the stable nine-to-five life in a big corporation, the stories of startup companies were incredibly intriguing to me. Since the project I wanted to work on was related to hardware, I made the determined choice to return to Taiwan, my home country, to start my own business. From the very beginning, I was focused on combining technology with culturally meaningful themes. Coincidentally, my wife, Dr. Shiao-Chen Tsai, and I had bought a music box when we first met during our summer exchange program in Austria. It could only play a short segment of Mozart's "Eine kleine Nachtmusik," and we couldn't change the song, so it was a bit disappointing. This memorable music box was forgotten in our storage for many years. Because of this connection, we wanted to make the music box play songs that held our shared memories. The journey of the app-controlled/MIDI controlled music box, Muro Box, is far from over. We hope that you will join us in the next phase of our adventure: the development of the N40!
