Sonology

The goal of our project was to demonstrate that audio could successfully be the primary element of interactive entertainment. Through the use of 3D trackers, headphones, and a game engine, we created immersive experiences that demonstrated both the creative potential and emotional power of an audio experience.

Building Virtual Worlds

Round 1- An Ant's Life

My first virtual world, designed for the Jam-O-Drum, an interface for four players. Three players are ants, one is a spider. The ants must hide in the black holes that appear on the map, while at the same time avoiding coming in contact with the spider. I acted as sound designer and composer for this world.
