Chaivala - An Interactive Musical Experience

Chaivala - An Interactive Musical Experience

Abstract

The goal of this project is to create an interactive musical experience in the form of a video game, where player movements and decisions heavily influence the way the music evolves. Inspired by video games with adaptive audio like No Man’s Sky and DOOM, this project also examines the potential of video games as an alternative platform for music presentation and discovery. Using modern sound design and hybrid recording techniques to create soundtracks, and distributing the stems into objects created in Blender and Unity, a game was developed with the backdrop of Mumbai city, and the central theme of chai (tea). The biggest challenge was the scope of the work - from synthesis and recording, to C# programming, 3D model creation and designing the adaptive audio system. The project aims to explore how interactive systems can enable people to explore and shape their own listening experience, via a calming, cozy game.
