Thanks for posting, that's some really cool stuff to think about and it'd be really interesting to see someone do something in that style.<div>Your performance at Warp Chamber was awesome btw :)<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hey Pigmi members,<div><br></div><div>This is my first post here. I make music as well as short abstract films and video installations. I'm really interested in the idea of making a game which, while not being overtly mind-blowing in an up-to-date graphical sense, is still nonetheless very difficult, conceptual, and brain-searing, primarily due to abstract plot devices, weird puzzles, noisy soundscapes and acid-inspired graphics. </div>
<div><br></div><div>For an idea of the sort of music / soundscapes / sound-effects I'm envisioning, which I'd like to take a primary role in designing, follow this link: <a href="http://salamandertwo.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://salamandertwo.blogspot.com/</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>That's the page for my music project, Salamander. Try streaming the track "Steel Vulture" on the top post there for a song which fuses semi-musical elements with dissonant noise, field recordings, etc.</div>
<div><br></div><div>There are also visuals on that page (for the video 'Creatura') -- but they don't really represent how I'd imagine the game graphically -- though in terms of intensity and sheer trippyness, they serve a good example.</div>
<div><br></div><div>As for concepts, etc, that's still not fully-formed in my mind, but in terms of sheer depth and complexity, there's a story you can read by an author you may or may not know called Jorge Luis Borges, called the 'Library of Babel', which not only summons up a <i>visually </i>surreal world, but also a <i>conceptually </i>surreal, as well as deeply metaphysical set of ideas. Link here: <a href="http://jubal.westnet.com/hyperdiscordia/library_of_babel.html" target="_blank">http://jubal.westnet.com/hyperdiscordia/library_of_babel.html</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>This is just to give a starting impression of what I'm thinking of. I don't even know if there's anyone at PIGMI who can help or is interested in helping. I guess I'd like to gauge that first and go from there -- let me know what you think!</div>
<div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div><br></div><font color="#888888"><div>Alex</div> </font></div>
