GastroConcerto: Towards Designing Auditory Dining System to Enrich Chefs’ Culinary Practices
An interactive dining system that lets chefs attach specific sounds to ingredients, so that eating a dish becomes a sonic as well as a taste experience, essentially composing music through food. The project explores how sound can be woven into the creative practice of cooking and the experience of dining.
Abstract
Sound plays a crucial role in shaping diners’ perceptions and enhancing the dining experience. Recognizing this, designers have started to integrate auditory elements into interactive interfaces that connect diners with food. However, how chefs incorporate sound into their culinary practices remains underexplored. To bridge this gap, we introduced GastroConcerto, an auditory dining system that allows chefs to link specific sounds with ingredients, enabling the creation of unique sonic dishes. Our ultimate goal is to enrich chefs’ creative repertoire through novel auditory interactions.
