An evolutionary axis tracing key milestones in the development of video game music, paired with a visual representation of the transforming sound wave.

Retro sound

The journey begins with the raw energy of early game sound — sharp, geometric, pixel-born signals. Visitors enter a vibrant, immersive space echoing the world of arcade machines, where light, rhythm, and interactivity merge. Here, play becomes architecture, and the body triggers the first musical pulse.

Electronic era

Entering the electronic era, sound grows sharper, faster, more synthetic. Rhythms fragment, tones pulse with precision. The space reflects this shift through angular forms, glowing neon structures, and reactive surfaces. Human movement follows the logic of the waveform — dynamic, digital, and intensely structured.

Symphonic Turn

Game music enters a cinematic realm — expansive, orchestral, immersive. Sound escapes the screen, filling concert halls and merging with classical traditions. The space opens into fluid curves and layered acoustics, inviting visitors into a world where games and symphonies resonate as one.

The installation explores the integration of radio in GTA, presented as an interactive station where visitors become players, switching tracks in real time. A symbolic car silhouette made of lights evokes the immersive drive-and-sound experience.

Immersive Realms

In the era of spatial audio and Dolby Atmos, sound becomes a living environment. Smooth, sinuous waves flow through an architecture of resonance — fluid, layered, all-encompassing. The visitor moves within the sound itself, immersed in a world where music feels almost physical.

Image 1 – Pop installations immerse visitors in a vibrant mix of screens and sound, featuring iconic music video clips where gaming aesthetics and pop culture collide in rhythm, color, and motion. Image 2 – A dance hall inspired by Just Dance, where reactive walls pulse in sync with the player’s movements, transforming the space into a fully interactive, rhythm-driven experience.
