Can music capture the unique essence of our memories, like an auditory fingerprint? This project explores the intersection of emotion, memory, and sound, creating a playful and interactive experience that invites users to explore their emotional landscape.

Using Processing, I developed an algorithm that maps emotional words to specific frequencies, generating a personalized symphony of sound and visuals. This ongoing, exploratory approach transforms emotional memories into tangible experiences, promoting self-reflection and emotional expression. Through an iterative design process, I experimented with various sonic representations, ranging from single tones to chords and harmonics. A key challenge was capturing mixed emotions, such as the simultaneous experience of gratitude and anxiety. I developed a system that blends multiple frequencies, creating a layered soundscape to mimic the complexity of human emotion.

Subsequently, I incorporated features to support individuals with varying language abilities.
