Score / Notes
The score is an old school arcade game implemented in PD, which also does some nifty sonification of the game as it is played.  The interactive electronics have an algorithmically generated spatial component that maps onto 2, 4, 6, or 8 speakers for performance flexibility.  For even more flexibility, you can set the number of instruments you have in your setup and how long you'd like the game to last.  

 

Please contact me through my website for the Pure Data patch.  Pure Data is a free, open source, real time computer music programming environment. (Download Pure Data here).  It runs on linux, mac, and windows.  My patch probably has custom objects, which means it runs in linux and mac with no additional effort on your part.  If you want to play it with a windows machine, you'll need to compile the custom objects.  If you can't figure out how to compile custom objects and can't talk someone else into doing it for you, maybe interactive electronics isn't your thing.  I have a lovely acoustic piece for percussion and two voices here: http://uploaddownloadperform.net/CristynMagnus/PantomimeGrasshopper .
