  • Playing drones as instruments

    We have long been trying to bridge the art world and games. We have been focusing on exploring the fringes of the digital medium. Hacking drones to play music is one such experiment.

  • Sneak peak of the B.U.T.T.O.N. EP

    Nifflas has been hard at work transforming the B.U.T.T.O.N. soundtrack into a standalone EP. He just finished! And of course it’s fantastic. We’re so excited to release it to the public. We’ll be selling the EP along with the full game, which we’re releasing for both Xbox Live Indie and PC (Windows) very soon. Stay…

  • Weekly Music Tip: C-Beams

    Sick! It’s gotta be a Blade Runner reference, right? It’s been a strong year for Pariah.  I also really like the Detroit Falls/Orpheus record from earlier in the year.

My friend Jon and I re-visited and beat the game the summer after high…

  • Weekly Music Tip: Light in August

    While there’s still some days left in August… As fate would have it, two of my favorite ambient releases from last year are both titled around the theme of the Light in August. The first release, by composer Danny Norbury, is drop-dead gorgeous. Massive recommendation, my favorite album of 2009: Read more about the album…
