About HyVibe
HyVibe’s mission is to provide excellent sound quality to connected objects. We do this by ‘exciting’ them with smart, connected vibration technology.
Our Company is a product of the 7+ years of academic research in vibrations and acoustics by Dr. Adrien Mamou-Mani at IRCAM, the world-renowned French institute for science about music, sound, and avant garde electro-acoustical art music. Adrien and his research team began applying their expertise to different materials, objects, and instruments, and the results were amazing. Before long, the first iterations of HyVibe’s technology were being used by renowned sound designers and musicians in the world’s most famous concert halls.
Adrien left IRCAM in 2017 to create HyVibe with co-founders Francois Beaulier and Matt Volsky. Since then, HyVibe has won numerous awards for its innovations, been featured in top media outlets, and displayed its technology around the world. HyVibe has offices in Paris and San Diego.
