User experience and ritual: objects with personality encourage ritual. A Fogbank Sassie 2000 302 owner would have habits: a pre-start pat on the dash, a favored route that includes a stretch of road where fogbanks gather, a playlist that seems to summon the right kind of damp twilight. If it’s a pedal or synth, the ritual could be an evening session when the city quiets and the unit gets coaxed awake, cables arranged in a precise braided pattern, settings notched the same way each time to produce a beloved tone. Those rituals are how inanimate things become repositories of memory and mood.
