Memoreel captures nostalgic sensibility, fuses it with AI to create music and art from recorded emotions - Yanko Design

"Generative AI has the power to create music, images, content and videos from your input. Now, someone believes that not only words and text, but even memories need to be created into music. If you talk about preserving memories, photo frames and albums (digital or physical) are the best options that come to mind. Now memo:reel (yes, it's an interesting wordplay) is designed to let you transform your memories into music and art."

"This emotion-driven AI device for music and art generation is conceptualized to allow each recorded emotion to be expressed through sound and visuals. And for this, one part of it is designed to resemble a traditional cassette player, whose speakers are used to play the created sounds. The recording and generation are done on separate devices. The idea behind the memoreel concept is to provide users with a new way to reconnect with themselves through the creative interpretation of their emotions."

"The Frame is a tiny monitor that generates and replays your emotional input as your own artwork, while the Speaker generates and replays them as your own music. The Speaker unit here is not just a look-alike of the cassette player; in fact, with its tactile knobs, it functions like one. In addition, a reminiscent façade - with a cassette-like slot for the Record unit - the top of the Speaker has a volume knob, a Track knob, and a power switch to turn the system on and off."

Memoreel converts recorded daily moments and emotions into original music and visual art through generative AI. The system records written and verbal inputs via a Record unit that functions as a note taker and routes emotional data to a Frame monitor or a cassette-styled Speaker. The Frame generates and replays personalized artworks while the Speaker synthesizes and plays music corresponding to the recorded emotions. The Speaker features tactile knobs, a cassette-like slot, a volume knob, a track selector, and a power switch to produce a nostalgic physical interface. The concept aims to enable users to reconnect with personal memories through creative emotional reinterpretation.
