“Electroplankton is an interactive music video game developed by the Japanese interactive media artist Toshio Iwai and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS portable gaming system. This unique software allows one to interact with animated “plankton” and create music through one of ten different “plankton themed” interfaces. This title is commonly not regarded as a video game in the fullest sense, but rather a ‘toy’ because there is no objective, timer, or top score.” (via Electroplankton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
I’m trying to start thinking of some new ways to create music (in addition to the usual “services that help musicians deal with already made art).
This thing is insanely weird.
Maybe it’s about a way to connect all these kinds of random “toys” to make decent compositions?  I dunno…more soon ;-)
