Original Proposal:
Title : Blend'er (changed to Music Space)
Background :
Ubiqutous Computing Music Making(UCMM) is very popular nowadays. For example, aM Laboratory create music making with writing, drawing, clicking and so on. On the other hand, Nike Music Shoe is another great example of UCMM. They are using shoes, plug in with several sensors and starting making some sounds/music. Overall, shoes are not the main point, the thing that makes this whole installation looks great is the sensor and the programming of it. Bend sensors, acceleration sensor, arduino, and so on. These sensors are programmed to software, called Pro Tools where people are using it for sound recording or music making.
Problem Identification:
During the golden times, people must be taught to use instruments to play music/making music. Now, Ubiquitous Computing Music Making style makes everyone can play an instrument without knowing anything about the instrument or taking a lesson to learn about it.
Aim & Objectives:
• To let people enjoy and have fun of Ubiquitous Computing Music Making and Electronic Music Making
• To bring music making into another level
• To challenge the current music making way
Motivation:
Nike Music Shoe is the installation that really inspire me. This installation give me the motivation of doing it.
Ideation & Concept:
Overall, it is going to be user interact with objects that can make sound to create music.

This is a flowchart together with a top view of the installation. Before I get lost direction, I decided to do a digital sketch and flowchart to direct myself back to track.
