Proposal One

Title:
Music – The beat of it!

Background:
Music is an art form whose medium is sound. Common elements of music are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture. The word derives from Greek μουσική(mousike), "(art) of the Muses."
The creation, performance, significance, and even the definition vary according to culture and social context. Music ranges from strictly organized compositions (and their recreation in performance), through improvisational music to electronic forms. Music can be divided into genres and subgenres, although the dividing lines and relationships between music genres are often subtle, sometimes open to individual interpretation, and occasionally controversial. Within "the arts," music may be classified as a performing art, a fine art, and auditory art. There is also a strong connection between music and mathematics.

Problem Identification:
Music has been everybody’s passion for ages. Different genres and subgenres have kept people activated throughout years without knowing the story behind its creation and it’s subtle. People not only listen to it but they live with it as it makes their life as a complete circle. How does it can be so manipulative to people’s life and how does it provokes people’s feelings and emotions towards it. 


Aim and objectives:
  •   To create a better understanding between human and music.
  •  To worship the elements of a creation of music and its history.
  •   To know the culture and the social context for each type for music.
  •   To know the bit connection between music and mathematics.
Motivation:
Music has been my passion too since childhood, as I love to listen to songs and dance for it. I have been always wanted to know more the creation of music and its history behind it. Besides that, I also inspired to know more about musical instruments particularly on traditional ones.

Ideation and Concept:
My idea was to create an application that associate with almost all the musical instruments. A sensory touch will be on the musical instruments (replica) which after being touched will play its history, its music and its famous player on the screen.


Review, Analysis and Precedence Studies:
