ObjecTone
ObjecTone is an interactive device that integrates AI and generative music technology to transform everyday objects into expressive musical elements. By analyzing visual and material features, the system generates personalized music, allowing users to shape rhythm, tone, and emotion in real time. Breaking away from the one-way interaction of traditional instruments, ObjecTone reimagines objects as creative partners, deepening the emotional connection between humans and the material world.
