Spin Ye Mighty Music Color Wheel, Spin!
What have we got here? We’ve got one of the creators of the ever-so-popular inflatable bookmark, designer Rhea Jeong! What Jeong has for us today is the “Colorsonic”: an MP3 player that displays its playlist with color. Each color represents a music genre. When you want to play some songs n stuff, choose 1 (or more) color(s) from your wheel, and a list will be automatically picked for you made of songs from the genre colors you chose.
I see spectrum. I’m in dreamland.
But not Kirby’s Dreamland. I’m talking about interactive dreamland. The “Colorsonic” project is not just an MP3 concept, it’s got special software, and a super-duper-colorsonic-club website, too! No word on if they’ll call it that, but that’s what it is: log on and trade color rings, share and explore music mit de colores.
Rhea Jeong sends word that the Colorsonic project was the result of a summer internship with Samsung, and that if interest takes off, that the Colorsonic may be realized. (That means Colorsonic might even exist in the real world … but that the power … is YOURS!)

Very interesting! It seems like it is well within the bounds of current or near-future technology. But will you be able to customize the playlist when away from the computer? Maybe stroking your finger around the ring could enable a mode where you can drag to adjust the boundaries of the coloured areas.

Hello Rhea~
The movie that shows how the GUI works was outstanding!
Impressive.
suprsonic says
would it be better to have song title and author on circles around on the ring display on top of the colors?
Colin says
Great Idea,
I associate the colours red and black with rock music.
It would be cool if this was incorporated into a light show..
pouet says
very interesting concept, I’d define the colors of each music genre at the first software startup, instead of manually song tagging (is it already working this way?)
