Moodplay is a system that allows users to collectively control music and lighting effects to express desired emotions. The interaction is based on the Mood Conductor participatory performance system that uses web, data visualisation and affective computing technologies. We explore how artificial intelligence, semantic web and audio synthesis can be combined to provide new personalised and immersive musical experiences. Participants can choose degrees of energy and pleasantness to shape the music played using a web interface. Semantic Web technologies have been embedded in the system to query mood coordinates from a triple store using a SPARQL endpoint and to connect to external linked data sources for metadata.
