Results of our Brainstorming Session.
We came up with the following ideas while brainstorming:
- Color my song: You train a neural net that associates music to colours. Afterwards the neural net is inverted and you can use colours as descriptors of music. This would be a nice feature for changing the mood of a given song. Or simply highlighting the file system. We rejected the idea, because it is not an instrument as defined by you.
- Ping Pong a Song: We use a Ping Pong match to make music. Unfortunately this has already been done by NYU students.
- Air Drums: A new thing at parties is to play air drums instead air guitar.
- Kung Fu Music: Based on specific gestures music is played.
- Shadow Songs: We combine the old tradition of shadow theater with music. The computer reads the shadows and plays appropriate music. You can tell a story and it is supported by tunes.
