ABSTRACT

ACCORDING TO RESEARCH, IT IS FOUND THAT IMAGES, MUSIC, AND EMOTIONS ARE CLOSELY RELATED, AND INTEGRATING VISUAL AND TACTILE ELEMENTS INTO THE MUSIC CREATION PROCESS, COMBINED WITH AUDITORY EXPERIENCE, CAN ENHANCE EMOTIONAL EXPRESSION AND UNDERSTANDABILITY. THE RESULTS HIGHLIGHT THE POTENTIAL OF TANGIBLE INTERFACES IN AUTONOMOUS MUSIC CREATION AND PROMOTING EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING.  THIS WORK AIMS TO EXPLORE THE INTERSECTION OF MUSIC CREATION, EMOTIONAL EXPRESSION, AND TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION BY CREATING A UNIQUE TANGIBLE INTERFACE FOR MUSIC. IT DOES THIS BY COMBINING THE CHALLENGES PRESENTED BY THE COMPLEXITY OF MODERN MUSIC PRODUCTION, THE EMOTIONAL ISSUES FACED BY TODAY'S YOUTH, AND BRINGING A NEW WAY OF EXPRESSION TO THE PHONOGRAPH TECHNOLOGY. IT HOPES TO DRAW INSPIRATION FROM THE HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PHONOGRAPH THROUGH VISUAL EXPRESSION, USER EXPERIENCE, AND ALGORITHMIC MUSIC GENERATION TECHNOLOGY, AND SEEK TO PROVIDE A NEW WAY OF MUSIC CREATION FOR YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE CREATIVE AND CURIOUS BUT NOT MUSICIANS, AND PROVIDE A NEW WAY TO EXPRESS EMOTIONS. ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, THE PROJECT DEMONSTRATES THE FEASIBILITY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF COMBINING HISTORICAL INSPIRATION WITH MODERN TECHNOLOGY TO CREATE INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR MUSIC TECHNOLOGY. FURTHERMORE, IT IS FOCUSING ON ENHANCING THE INTERFACE DESIGN EVEN MORE AND CARRYING OUT LONGITUDINAL RESEARCH TO ASSESS THE LONG-TERM EFFECTS ON EMOTIONAL EXPRESSIVENESS AND USER EXPERIENCE. IT IS ALSO BEING EXPLORED AS AN ARTISTIC INSTALLATION, HOPING TO BRING MORE CHANGES AND PRESENTATION METHODS AND PROVIDE USERS WITH A MORE COMPREHENSIVE AND IMMERSIVE MUSIC CREATION AND EMOTIONAL EXPRESSION EXPERIENCE
