| Abstract |
|
On the whole, digital games treat sound with something akin to a mix of fear, contempt and jealousy. Sound is used to accentuate visual transitions, to help create atmosphere, or to inform us of an event that is not visible. Sounds are triggered at discrete points in game time and space, and are very rarely the object of fascination or final goal. This paper explores the possibility of continuity between game sound events, through the introduction of real-time synthesis. It reports on experiments conducted by the author this year with game systems for use in installations, and attempts to chart the territory of sound driven digital games, particularly with respect to real-time performance.
