About
This collaboration developed from my presentation of Capturing Cancer with Music. Marc approached me after I presented and we talked a bit about video games and music. His idea was to study how dynamically modulating a piece could potentially impact a player’s performance in a video game. We ended up collaborating – he developed the game and study while I wrote the code to change the music dynamically.
