Pixels Apart #1 [The First Dance]

A duet for the digital games GRIS (2018) and Ape Out (2019). The piece explores using digital games as instruments themselves, with two musicians playing each game according to a score and a conductor live mixing between the two. The piece explores the narrative juxtaposition and aesthetic similarity of both the two games, and of the mediums of game and music more broadly.
