Games for Music wiki / G4M

Another recurring idea for a #musicGame is to separate playing music and doing in-game moves. You basically join the music when it's not your turn.

The game may have any turn-based mechanics, but its #tabletop representation should yield itself well to musical interpretation.

This is a design area with hopes for great complexity, some #eurogame-adjacent potential. But arguably, musical #improvisation may cover any #boardgame...

A slide/infographics with three columns, two rather graphic, and one text-based on the right. Title: Music-between-turns Subtitle: music game format #5 Left column, title: individual flow. The image on the left presents a loop, with a small part in yellow labeled "Your turn - make your moves" and larger part in green labeled "play music - follow the board" with additional symbols of arrows, a meeple, quaver, fermata sign. Middle column, title: group flow (turns) The image presents 5 face cliparts, each marked with a letter, around a gray circle representing a game table. Face A is yellow, and four other faces are green and have quaver symbols around. Below there is written: 1. yellow A green BCDE 2. yellow B green CDEA 3. yellow C green DEAB Right column (text) pros Simplicity No “double downtime” − engage either in music or in gameplay. Gaming depth potential cons Separation of music/game layers Repetitive group flow (few fixed constellations/”line-ups”) Minimum space for social interaction

Mistakes have the potential make your art more interesting. They might also ruin everything, but sometimes - sometimes they add interest, because without them the piece might be too “slick” or too regular, or too predictable. My last creative prompt was about creating something endless. While I was working on an “endless” idea recently, I made a small mistake in the process. It resulted in making my "endless" melody much much more interesting. This tiny mistake was so delicate and fell into the tapestry of what I was making, so I let it stay there and it created endless new possibilities for my composition.

Un article qui dresse des parallèles entre le game design et l'improvisation théâtrale, autour de deux principes clés : 1) allier narration et mécanismes de jeu et 2) l'agentivité.

Du connu pour les devs et les game makers voire les rôlistes mais beaucoup à apprendre pour les improvisateurices ! brg2000.fr/game-design-et-impr

Je suis comédien formateur en #improvisation théâtrale, basé à #Toulouse après quelques années d'activité sur Paris. Je partagerai ici mes articles et réflexions sur l'impro, mais aussi peut-être des témoignages sur ma découverte du #fediverse à l'usage des amis qui tentent de migrer hors des grands réseaux !
C'est bien utile de se forger quelques repères sur un écosystème qui peut être déroutant pour les débutant·e·s.
