Our Vision: A Multisensory Masterpiece

Sound is a powerful key to unlocking new dimensions of human experience.

SoundFood transforms every moment into a deep synesthetic experience, where taste, smell, emotion, and memory merge through the intelligence of sound.
Our technology creates unique and independent acoustic spaces, scientifically designed to pair each dish with carefully selected frequencies, timbres, and rhythms.

Imagine sitting at the table and hearing a sound that not only complements what you’re tasting but enhances its flavors, aromas, and colors — creating a multisensory masterpiece that goes far beyond simple perception.

Sonic seasoning

Il Suono come ingrediente segreto: La Scienza dietro il Piacere

Le neuroscienze e la psicologia sensoriale ci dimostrano scientificamente come i suoni che ascoltiamo influenzano la percezione dei sapori,modificando il modo in cui il cervello interpreta l’esperienza gustativa.

Ad esempio, suoni acuti tendono ad esaltare le note dolci e fresche di un piatto, mentre toni bassi e profondi amplificano amarezza, corpositá e profondità. Questo fenomeno, noto come sinestesia cross-modale, è alla base del sonic seasoning, un nuovo linguaggio multisensoriale, altamente immersivo, in cui il cibo e la musica perfettamente si uniscono.

FAQ


1What is SoundFood?

SoundFood is the world’s first platform dedicated to chefs that combines acoustic engineering,
neuroscience, and artificial intelligence to turn every dish into a multisensory masterpiece. Defined as a
“Music Sommelier,” the platform uses sound to enhance flavors, aromas, and emotions at the table.

2What is the science behind SoundFood?

SoundFood is based on the neuroscience of taste and sensory psychology. The phenomenon of crossmodal synesthesia shows that sounds influence flavor perception: for example, high frequencies
enhance sweet notes, while low tones amplify bitterness and richness. This approach is known as “Sonic
Seasoning.”

3What is the SoundFood Lamp?

It is an innovative IoT device that uses 8-channel beamforming technology to create localized “sound
bubbles” above individual tables, allowing different music to be played in different areas of the
restaurant without interference.

4Does the system require a constant internet connection?

No. The lamp is designed with an “offline-first” approach. Once the music curated for your menu has
been downloaded from the cloud, the device can operate autonomously without an internet
connection, ensuring a smooth service even in case of Wi-Fi instability.

5How long does the battery last?

The SoundFood Lamp includes a built-in battery that guarantees a minimum of 3 hours of continuous
playback, covering the typical duration of a lunch or dinner service.

6How is music created for my menu?

Through a dedicated private area, the chef enters the menu details. Our Artificial Intelligence
algorithms (based on MusicGen) generate unique sound combinations based on the intrinsic
characteristics of the ingredients and their flavor profiles (sweet, salty, bitter, etc.).

7How is playback controlled?

Management is extremely simple: floor staff can control volume, playlists, and device status through an
intuitive web interface accessible from any smartphone, tablet, or computer connected to the
restaurant’s network.

8Is installation complex?

No. The lamp is easily configured via an Access Point mode that guides the user through connecting it
to the restaurant’s Wi-Fi using a smartphone, without requiring advanced technical skills.

9Why should I integrate sound into my service?

Sound is not just atmosphere—it’s strategy. SoundFood helps increase the perceived quality of dishes
and can positively influence purchasing behavior, encouraging, for example, the ordering of desserts or
alcoholic beverages through targeted sensory stimulation.

10Can I customize the experience for each table?

Absolutely. Thanks to beamforming technology, each table can enjoy a unique and independent
sensory journey, perfectly synchronized with the courses being served at that moment.

11How do I receive new music updates?

The lamp periodically performs an automatic check (polling) with our cloud servers to verify whether
new tracks are available for your menu and downloads them autonomously in the background.

12How can I receive assistance in case of issues?

System administrators can remotely access the devices to monitor their health status (battery,
temperature, connectivity) and resolve any issues through software updates.
