Summary

Vinyl is a forced-movement audio manipulation game where the player is riding behind the needle, like a wake-boarder. As the player collides with items in the game, the audio will be manipulated using filters, remixing, key changes, etc. The player can adjust the speed of the song by pulling the needle faster or slower, affecting the pitch of the song. By catching air when exiting the groove of the record, the song needle will lift and the audio will stop playing for the duration of catching air.

Thesis

Can audio manipulation be an immersive video game experience?

Razor

Vinyl is raw audio manipulation combined with snowboarding half-pipe traversal wrapped in an electronic visual aesthetic.

Slogan

Sense the Sound. Ride the Groove.
