Discoteche silenziose
A silent disco is a pub where people go to dance while listen music on their headphones. Rather than using a speaker system, music is sent by an FM transmitter for wireless headphones worn by the partygoers. Without hearing aids gives the feeling of being in a room full of people dancing in silence.
The silent discos are popular at music festivals as they allow dancing follow at times where the noise is prohibited. Similar events are meetings clubbing mobile calls, where a group of people dance what you hear in your personal music players.

Year Zero - Rob Reid
Plot: The entire cosmos, they tell him, has been hopelessly hooked on humanity’s music ever since “Year Zero” (1977 to us), when American pop songs first reached alien ears. This addiction has driven a vast intergalactic society to commit the biggest copyright violation since the Big Bang. The resulting fines and penalties have bankrupted the whole universe. We humans suddenly own everything—and the aliens are not amused. [...]

Sentimenti/emozioni
Feelings that produce headphones
The emotions that produce the headphones are usually associated with the music that we heard, depending also on the moment and the place where we are. Furthermore one song can make us feel different emotions depending on the circumstances.
The headphones for each person representing a different emotion so it is difficult to choose one.
Here we have an example:
Relax
Movement
Freedom
Happiness
Sadness
TirednessPrivacy
Sometimes headphones not only isolate the sound to avoid disturbing, but also provides privacy when you use them, providing the opportunity to everyone to enjoy the music them likes.
Here we have two examples of the same street and how it changes for the different people.

Business strategies
Strategies in Japan are clearly different from those that we have in the Europe. Proof of this is this catalog of headphones, in which different manga artists show us a repertoire of different drawing styles between them but with the same goal: sell differently makes and models of headphones, through illustrations.
Vocaloid
Vocaloid is a singing voice synthesizer. Its signal processing part was developed through a joint research project led by Kenmochi Hideki at the Pompeu Fabra University in Spain in 2000 and originally was not intended to be a full commercial project. Backed by the Yamaha Corporation, it developed the software into the commercial product "Vocaloid.
The software enables users to synthesize singing by typing in lyrics and melody. It uses synthesizing technology with specially recorded vocals of voice actors or singers. To create a song, the user must input the melody and lyrics. A piano roll type interface is used to input the melody and the lyrics can be entered on each note. The software can change the stress of the pronunciations, add effects such as vibrato, or change the dynamics and tone of the voice. Each Vocaloid is sold as "a singer in a box" designed to act as a replacement for an actual singer.
The software is intended for professional musicians as well as light computer music users and has so far sold on the idea that the only limits are the users' own skills. Japanese musical groups Livetune of Victor Entertainment and Supercell of Sony Music Entertainment Japan have released their songs featuring Vocaloid as vocals. Japanese record label Exit Tunes of Quake Inc. also have released compilation albums featuring Vocaloids. Artists such as Mike Oldfield have also used Vocaloids within their work for back up singer vocals and sound samples.
In addition they have developed different characters to recreate the voices, creating a look for each of them and even personality. They have come to perform concerts of 3D characters, with great success indeed.
