Personal Opera

Drawing on the themes of Death and the Powers, the Personal Opera initiative seeks to create a platform for individuals to tell their own story—to share their legacy—in a fun and intuitive way. Leveraging the power of music as a central narrative thread, Personal Opera will provide a simple interface to assemble images, video, sound, and text in a compelling manner, much like the innovative design of Hyperscore facilitates music composition by anyone.

Personal Opera may appear in a number of forms that allow for different types of creation and storytelling experiences. It has an architecture well suited to a computer application, web application, or even a mobile application where it can draw on your media collection and additional sources of information. Personal Opera can also appear as a large-scale interactive installation piece.
