Game Audio

game-audio.org comprises a collection of sonic-centric game-audio projects focused on the construction of novel grammar for dynamic media in sound, music and in composition using 3Daudio and spatial thinking. It is divided in four distinctive sections; Role-playing of Musical Instruments, Sonic Expeditions, bio-Simulators and Musical Duels

Overall, game-audio projects are informed by cultures which provide a high value on non-visual modes of experiencing the world (e.g. ancient hunters, merchants, fishermen and seafarers) and who relied on sound when visually-oriented tools had failed (kamals, quadrants, mariner's astrolabes or sextants).

Game Audio is divided in three distinctive sections; role-playing of musical instruments, sonic Expeditions and bio-Simulators where sound is key for progression.

Organising dynamic sound employing game-audio technology as the focus for the user experience is still in its infancy and we are learning it as we walk here in game-audio.org.

These projects explore sound-centric techniques for pathfinding and orientation in immersive environments, throughout the creation of interactive worlds employing physics-graphic and audio game engines. This space embraces questions emerging from the use of virtual and non-virtual instruments and performers in immersive media environments. From a practice-led perspective it explores space co-presence, anthropomorphism and the breakdown and re-embodiment of physical and aural taxonomies.
