Sufjan, Rafter, Dosh Contribute Music for Video Games
AudioSurf, a computer-based video game, is kind of like the next step on the acoustic-kinetic evolutionary ladder that began with the Dancing Coke Can. By inputting different music into AudioSurf, you alter the gameplay of this Tetris-like puzzler.
The Asthmatic Kitty crowd is pretty geeked about AudioSurf, so geeked in fact that they've gone ahead and assembled a 15-track compilation of tunes conducive to the game. Music for Video Games Vol 1 awaits on the AK site right now as a free download, and includes offerings from Sufjan Stevens, Dosh, Rafter, and Ero Gray (aka Future Rapper collaborator Papa Alabaster), plus an exclusive new track from Anticon artist Son Lux.
Just what kind of game will AudioSurf serve up to the tune of Grampall Jookabox's "The Girl Ain't Preggers"? My friend, there is only one way to find out. Score an AudioSurf demo right here (PC users only, sorry dudes!) and download Music for Video Games at the link below.
Music for Video Games Vol 1:
01 The Beauty: "Pushin' Like the Daisies"
02 Dosh: "Naoise"
03 Fantastic Mr. Fox: "Paths"
04 Grampall Jookabox: "The Girl Ain't Preggers"
05 Aspects of Physics: "s.id"
06 Seth Kauffmann: "Not Much Left to Give"
07 Ero Gray (aka Papa Alabaster): "Entrances, Ends of Trails, and Entrails"
08 Actuel: "Sleeping Nagoya"
09 Bizzart: "Liquid Beast"
10 Ablerock: "Face of the Earth"
11 Son Lux: "Étude"
12 Rafter: "Sassy"
13 Sufjan Stevens: "Year of the Boar"
