Kilometers of emotions on board Audi

The global automobile manufacturer Audi and Carlos Jean with the collaboration of the Spanish singer Juan Zelada, have developed a new musical and technological project.

This innovative project consists of the creation of a song based on the emotions of random people while listening to small parts of a melody.

Thus, Jean and Zelada, on board Audi, have been travelling around Spain with the aim of developing a song “with people’s smiles”, as the co-creator of the experiment called ‘The Sounds of Emotions’ stand out.

And what better way to accomplish this project than using ‘Sociograph’ technology?

The creative group in charge of this innovative and interesting project got in touch with Sociograph, in order to be able to test each “emotion and smile” of Juan Zelada’s improvised song.

So from León to Málaga, technology and feelings have crossed the Iberian Peninsula exploring a new way to create a single: with the heart, with the emotions and with the most significant expression of happiness: people’s smile.

«Concert of Emotions»

Sociograph has put on a groundbreaking event in Miguel Delibes Cultural Centre, in Valladolid. Such event called «Concert of Emotions‘ had the participation of Miguel Angel Recio, who left his imagination fly and improvised melodies in this special agora, full to the brim.

A group of visually impaired people became part of the participants in such Cultural Center, being connected to ‘Sociograph’ technology with the aim of determining how much emotion arouses famous musical pieces in connection to the musical improvisation as Recio stood out.

Thus, ‘sociograph’ technology recorded the attentional levels and emotions reactions of the participants while listening to the concert. After analyzing the data, it was found that the emotional reactions and attentional levels were higher during the second part whereas improvisation took place. Further, those who have visual disability presented higher levels and reactions than those who did not.

These results have allowed us to wonder whether visual stimuli may influence on our perception when listening to music.
