With the wider application of technology nowadays, music composition is becoming more accessible.Whoever has a computer can use various software to obtain or create their own music.But for those without much knowledge of music, it is difficult for them to actually create their own music by themselves.In order to raise more people's interest of music composition in a stress-free way and emphasizing the process of creating, transforming the creating part from actual music composition to some other process can be one possible solution.Also, instead of the general concept of music, the outcome has been narrowed down to only the melody, which plays a significant role in music.In this research, we focus on transforming the melody composition to art creation, designing a device or a system that is inspired by the "Music and Colour Synaesthesia".Both tangible and digital prototypes were produced.The goal for the design is to help music amateurs to better experience music creating in a more sensual and stress-free way, also provide a similar experience of "Colour and Music Synaesthesia".The design was validated through qualitative testing and might be further developed for music educational use.
