We created a synesthetic exhibition: paintings from the 12 greatest classical songs conducted with a tech baton by Marin Alsop, OSESP’s principal conductor, musical director and one of the greatest conductors of the world.

Alongside of the paintings, there was a Bluetooth headphone playing the part of the song that was on the painting. There were also screens showing a video explaining the process to the visitors.

Music fans were able to see and bring home their favorite songs by their favorite conductor.

We also made souvenirs, like posters, calendars and mugs. The paintings will be sold on an auction in July.

To raise money for São Paulo Symphony Orchestra (OSESP)’s social projects, we made and exhibition with paintings from the 12 most famous classical songs. We also made souvenirs.

We tracked Marin Alsop, OSESP’s principal conductor, movements while she conducted them while using a especial tech baton that transformed it into data. Then, a software transformed the data into strokes.

We printed it, she signed and we made an exhibition. The paintings will be sold on an auction in July. We also made souvenirs to raise even more money.

Marin Alsop was just the first edition and we are doing it with other conductors and other songs. Uniting music and technology, See the Music is a now permanent source of income for OSESP.

The baton has a circuit board built inside it’s pear with 9 freedom sensors: 3 for an accelerometer, 3 for a gyroscope and 3 for a magnetometer. Together, they can precisely capture the smallest movement or rotation from the baton. It also has a USB port for charging. The baton is completely wireless so it doesn’t interfere the conductor.

A good conductor conducts with the tip of the baton, and a bad one with their wrist. And Marin Alsop is one of the greatest. So, even though our circuit board is inside the pear, we made the sensors project itself to the tip of the baton.

A microprocessor translated the sensors data and transferred it to a Bluetooth device that send the information to the computer. Then, a software read the data and transformed it into strokes.

We created a 3D-printed tech baton fueled with accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer and Bluetooth able to capture the smallest movement from the conductor.

Then, we invited Marin Alsop, one of the world’s greatest conductors, to conduct 12 famous classical songs.

Then we transformed the data into strokes, printed it, she signed and we made an exhibition. Alongside of each painting, there was a Bluetooth headphone playing the part of the song that was on the canvas.

The paintings will be sold on an auction in July.

We also made souvenirs to raise even more money.

The paintings will be sold on an auction in July.

The souvenirs are already being sold at OSESP’s local store.

Several local news featured the idea and the internet loved it.

The opening night was a success: more than 1000 people came and the visitation number at OSESP increased on all the other days.

The total impact was 1.304.000 impressions.

But most importantly, we created a permanent source of income for OSESP using our own product: music.
