Resonance Music Experience
Resonance is a Cultural Center built around Musical Experiences. Through different activies and areas to hang out at, Resonance brings people together through music that's different from going to a concert or music festival.
This was my Senior Capstone Project in Design School. This project is born from the COVID-19 pandemic, the research of group social interaction and musical affects on individuals, and my own experiences growing up loving music and my friends.
During COVID-19 pandemic, for many single-person households, the absence of a companion led to feelings of loneliness and lower mental well-being. This weakened their muscle memory of social interaction.
Attendees are able to socially interact and collaborate with people through music exploration.
EXPERIENCE DESIGN
2022
A room with a smart-deck.
This is the first room an individual comes across in the Resonance building. There is a touch screen smart-deck in the middle of the room that has a songbuilder app on it.
You choose from an existing bank of options from different categories on the smartdeck. They include:
STRUCTURE
The song arrangement
ELEMENTS
Rhythm, texture, timbre, melody, dynamics, and harmony
INSTRUMENTS
All kinds from keyboards to synthesizers
KEY
Group of pitches from a scale (Eg. C Major)
TIME SIGNATURE
How the beat should be counted, or number of beats in a measure
A glorified movie-theater that is musically driven.
Every session is built around music played from a particular culture. The visualizer screen displays an abstract A.I. generated moving artwork that responds to the music and has visuals that relate to the culture the music is from.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the feels.

This is an A.I. generated moving artwork using code found online through Google Colab.
A mini performance hall, if you will.
This room has a center stage which is surrounded by easyto- play instruments. Inside, you are greeted by a Resonance Staff Member who will facilitate group musical performance.
You are able to choose an instrument inside the room. You are a part of a group of 5 people that follow the directions of the facilitator who will conduct a musical performance. This performance will take place on the center stage.
