Context

The music is part of our everyday life. We can listen to it, we can feel it, but it's hard to play music without training. We could say that music is somehow "restricted to insiders".

Objective

The aim is to make music more accessible, more fun, more instinctive thanks to a digital device which allows anyone to interact with music.

How to make music an interactive visible reality ?

Concept

The goal was to create an application that allows the user to paint his own musical picture. The idea is to associate the color and the sound in order to “paint” music. One color is associated to a music instrument.

User

This application is dedicated to casual gamers who want to play with music and have fun (ie players interested in games with simple rules and low difficulty).
