The boundaries between electronic music and gaming have long since
merged to great effect. Producers from around the world have
contributed soundscapes to combine with the visual aspect of gaming to
add to the experience. In a slight twist it has been announced at the
recent Nintendo press conference that New York DJ David Hollands has
used the Nintendo DS Electroplankton ‘game’ to create a track in its
entirety.
Electroplankton allows the gamer to create rhythms and sounds
with the touch screen. Interacting with the touch screen makes the
virtual ‘soundfish’ move about in different ways or form, creating a
unique sound experience. At the press conference Holland’s himself came
out and created a track live on his DS while on the large screens
in-front of journalists displayed his screens, showing his moves and
interactions as he built the track. You can see an interview with David
Holland as he discusses creating a track on the Nintendo DS.
