Interactive Musical Songs Recommendation Using 3D Coordinates Model

Abstract

Listening to suitable music is important as different types of music have different impacts on the listener's mood. Similarly, color has the capability of influencing one's mood and choice of music as well. The relationship between color and music, color and mood, and mood and music can be established. However, up until now, the three items have been mostly represented as two dimensional (2D) model. In order to link all the three elements together, i.e. color-mood-music, multimodals are required to represent them. In this paper, a three dimensional (3D) model is proposed that integrates these three elements together for music recommendation. Questionnaires were developed and posted onto social media such as Facebook and Whatsapp. Analysis of results revealed that the relationship between color-mood and mood-color, color-music and music-color, and mood-music and music-mood were inconsistent, interestingly, it was found that there was association between specific color to specific mood and specific musical genres. This is useful as it helps to retrieve musical genre using a single model rather than multimodal.
