Abstract

The advent of increasingly-growing virtual realities poses unprecedented opportunities and challenges to different societies. Artistic collectives are not an exception, and we here aim to put special attention into musicians. Compositions, lyrics and even show-advertisements are constituents of a message that artists transmit about their reality. As such, artistic creations are ultimately linked to feelings and emotions, with aesthetics playing a crucial role when it comes to transmit artist's intentions. In this context, we here analyze how virtual realities can help to broaden the opportunities for musicians to bridge with their audiences, by devising a dynamical fashion-design recommendation system inspired by sound stimulus. We present our first steps towards re-defining musical experiences in the metaverse, opening up alternative opportunities for artists to connect both with real and virtual (\textit{e.g.} machine-learning agents operating in the metaverse) in potentially broader ways.
