Paper Abstract:      Music is a powerful medium for expressing emotions and feelings acquired during childhood; we are used to improvise rhythms and melodies, memorize and imagine harmonies and even full songs. However, due to the complexity involved in the personal expression through an instrument, it becomes necessary not only to completely master it, but also understand the theoretical concepts that dictate the rules to which melodies must obey. Assuming that most people with little or no musical knowledge whatsoever can create melodies using only their voice, this project’s aim is to identify and promote these intuitions using the design of an interactive system. Ultimately, it will become possible to convey melodic ideas by changing the way an instrument’s perception is later conducted and thus offering the possibility of musical expression to anyone.
