Now&Then

Where Music Connects Generations

Now & Then Jukebox revolutionizes the concept jukebox by implementing AI to foster intergenerational connections in a playful way. By merging song inputs from people of various age groups into an endless track, it encourages sharing personal stories and emotions, addressing the lack of engagement between different generations. 

Imagine the jukebox in a bar. One person after another wishes for a song via audio input. The AI adjusts bpm and key, and splits and recombines songs, while the user has the freedom to emphasize one of four aspects: mood, genre, lyrics, or tonality. 

The Now&Then jukebox is an attempt to show how AI can be a positive attribute to future products.
