Kilometers of emotions on board Audi
The global automobile manufacturer Audi and Carlos Jean with the collaboration of the Spanish singer Juan Zelada, have developed a new musical and technological project.
This innovative project consists of the creation of a song based on the emotions of random people while listening to small parts of a melody.
Thus, Jean and Zelada, on board Audi, have been travelling around Spain with the aim of developing a song “with people’s smiles”, as the co-creator of the experiment called ‘The Sounds of Emotions’ stand out.
And what better way to accomplish this project than using ‘Sociograph’ technology?
The creative group in charge of this innovative and interesting project got in touch with Sociograph, in order to be able to test each “emotion and smile” of Juan Zelada’s improvised song.
So from León to Málaga, technology and feelings have crossed the Iberian Peninsula exploring a new way to create a single: with the heart, with the emotions and with the most significant expression of happiness: people’s smile.
