Although the Covid-19 situation has created several limitations that obstruct the research outcome, it forced artists and musicians to work more creatively.  This research outcome is a product of imaginativeness and cooperation and collaboration with fellow artists. Even the final result was far from what was planned at first, but without the pandemic, the author would never be able to think from other perspectives, away from the personal boundaries. 

Overall, Taste Me is an excellent starting point for further multisensory performance. Scientific results from various research have been applied to physical performance (with some exemption regarding practicality.) Another aspect that the author concerned about is the balance between the scientific and the artistic approach.  From a personal perspective, designing a multisensory experience with the objective of "enhancing" audience experience needs a  scientific backup to ensure that a large group of people can experience sensory congruencies. As an artist, it is my duty to find a balance between these two aspects, to ensure everything works and, at the same time, reveal the beauty of art. 

This is an experimental piece for the idea of merging music with tastes in a multisensory approach. There is still countless room for other possibilities and options. The author hopes that this research and its outcomes will be an inspiration for artists, musicians, and people seeking a new method or perspective for creating art or adding value to existing products by utilizing art.

Due to the pandemic, the original goal of this research is unlikely to succeed. Making a multisensory guitar piece with a multi-layer candy had to be postponed because of several restrictions that made the collaboration process with a chef no longer possible. Also, making a live concert together with food was not possible. Therefore, an alternative idea of making a multisensory music performance was created. The idea was to produce music performance in a video format with highly restricted number of people working in the production process following the government’s pandemic rules. The idea was proposed to Dr Piyawat Louilarpprasert, a prominent and experienced Thai composer. After a long discussion, the idea was accepted, and the planning process started.

At the beginning of February 2021, the author had a chance to conduct a short interview with Calliope Tsoupaki on her multisensory piece with scent, Narcissus. The interview gave lots of inspiration and hinted toward personal researches and performances in the future. The interview was done and recorded on Zoom.

On the 1st of March 2021, the recording process was executed. With the help from Mr. Thanapat Ogaslert (a cameraman), he decided to use condenser microphones for the guitar part and a portable clip-on microphone attached to the face for capturing sounds from the oral cavity. Here is the final product of the work.

All information about the research was submitted to him in January 2021. The summary of the research's results was clearly illustrated in tables including the sonic attributes correlated to four basic tastes and the taste characteristics (temporal, affective, and embodiment).

In the middle of February 2021, a piece called "Taste Me" was finished and ready to be performed. Taste Me is a multisensory composition in which the performer is also the observer of multisensory experience on his/her own and portrays it out through the sounds. The composition consists of 4 short pieces: Salty, Sweet, Sour, and Bitter. These four short miniatures involve various aspects of art performances, including theatrical art, music, and taste. We decided to use simple tastants to portray each taste's characteristics that can sort out in a local supermarket: Lays Original for salty, apple juice for sweet, lime for sour, and concentrated coffee for bitter. The results inspire sonic elements of each piece with some modification for practicality in guitar practice.
