Kaleidoscope EUR PSN PSP-PLAYASiA

Synaesthesia is a one of the kind experimental project which welcomes the participants into the world of mysterious
beauty where experiences and sensations flow unbound by the restraints imposed by our ordinary senses. Here the common
gives way to the new and unexpected; sounds and shapes are brought into a fancy mixture, creating musical paintings like
those that once inspired Wassily Kandinsky.

Synaesthetes are a tiny minority of people who are gifted with an incredible innate ability to "see" music or "hear" movements;
many of them have managed to turn their gift into art, i.e. Liszt, Nabokov, Scriabin and Kandinsky. Interactive Synaesthesia is
a unique project which offers the player a chance to undertake an interactive journey into the realm of intersensational
connections, which has previously been considered to be exclusive to the initiated. However, now the players will be given
a chance to first-handedly experience and understand the mysterious relations between music and other domains, thus
significantly widening the limits of their perception.

In the first part of the project (Kaleidoscope) the participants will have to go through the seven notes of the diatonic scale,
where each note constitutes a separate universe, which operates according to its own peculiar laws. Levels change as
whimsical patterns of a kaleidoscope - an intricate contraption, which serves the sole purpose to uncover the joy of
experiencing the beauty of chance. The player will travel through the world of abstractions, exploring the world
of supremacist dreams and eclectic futuristic compositions. This game does not rely on the ready-made templates and
well-established rules, so the players will have to engage their intuition and feelings which will guide them through the
multi-dimensional world of synaesthesia.

Kaleidoscope consists of level-paintings, which differ in style and behaviour, yet are controlled in a similar fashion with the
help of just four buttons. The simplicity of the controls is overcompensated by the rich audio/visual experience presented
within the game. Player’s responses to a constantly changing environment shall have an impact on both image and audio.
This creates an illusion of a player being simultaneously a painter of the current image and a composer of the music heard.
In addition to that, each level in Kaleidoscope has a clear defined goal, which opens up doors of an infinite synaesthesia
world to the masses.
