Echo Fossils: A Fossil-Inspired AI-Generated Ambient Soundscape Interactive System for Emotional Resonance and Emotional Soothing

Year: 2025

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: This paper introduces Echo Fossils, a conceptual digital music instrument that integrates natural artefacts with AI-generated soundscapes to support emotional well-being and mindfulness. Inspired by the geometry of ammonite fossils, the design embeds generative sound into fossil-likeforms, which allows users to interact through tactile gestures including touch, tap, and twist. These interactions activate ambient sound to mimic an oceanic and prehistoric environments, which creates a multisensory experience rooted in both physical and emotional resonance.
