Chords of emotion
Sofia Toso
For my personal project I initially planned to create a lyric song and play the melody with a piano, however this idea developed to just creating a melody of 4 different emotions (Anger, Fear, Sadness and Happiness). I would film myself play the piano, and film myself dance to some sections of the song. To create the video I edited all together with as well some videos of nature.
Listen to both the audio and the video, this is to see if the same melody affects you more when watching the video or listening to the music.
The motivation behind my personal project is that I have always been very interested in music and how music plays with the emotions, I have studied how music moves us and I have been studying the piano for 9 years. Music in the past has always been a way for me to leave the real life situations for a few minutes to just listen to the story the singer was telling. Music has always been able to change my mood completely from what I felt, which is why for my personal project I wanted to study how I can change or convey emotion in my audience.
​
To know exactly if my emotions do get interpreted correctly I want the audience to listen to both my audio and the video, and think which one of the two performs the emotion the best.
