The Secret of Psalm 46

Huffduffed by rotational on April 5th, 2012

The Secret Of Psalm 46 was first presented on 23 March 2002 at the Game Developers Conference in San Jose, California. It was accompanied by a digital video of a total solar eclipse, synchronized to a harpsichord recording of J.S. Bach’s Die Kunst der Fuge (The Art of Fugue, BWV 1080, 1751).

A slightly revised version was presented at Worcester Polytech on 18 January 2007.

Below is a February 2010 studio recording of the lecture, produced for inclusion in Jonathan Blow’s game The Witness. It employs an excellent modeled piano by Modartt instead of a harpsichord.

  3. Personal Video Games - On the Media

    Anyone who’s played videogames like Call of Duty or Red Dead Redemption knows what kind of narratives they tell. Their protagonists are snipers or outlaws ready to fight missions that step outside all legal bounds. Game designers Anna Anthropy, Sebastian Janisz and Michael Molinari choose to tell very different stories. No ambushes, no clandestine ops or full throttle attacks.
