The idea.

Captain Rock'it and the Sound of Stars

Fly through the space

Imagine the universe's infinite emptiness, a place where absolute silence rules. We want to fill this space symbolical and give the innumerably stars a special sound. In interaction between the user and stars and the stars among themselves, different sounds will be created. They will picture a musical portrait of the universe.

The concept.

The user flies with a starship through the space. He is able to interact with the stars by shooting at them. An activated star makes a noise and a shockwave arises. It evolves through the space and activates other stars and items on its way. These also make sounds and send new shockwaves. A chain reaction starts and an unique world of sounds evolves.

The editorially arrangement.

The tone color and volume of the created sound depend on the size of stars. A large star creates a deep and loud tone.

Life and death.

The shockwave which is sent out by a star has a finite lifetime. With growing size it gets weaker. How large a shockwave can become is related to the size of the star.

The realization.

The interface for our project is built with Flash. All sounds will be integrated into the Flash file, so the game is very portable and easy to handle. The application is also playable online because no special hard- or software is needed.

The download.

You may download "Captain Rock'it and the Sound of Stars" as Windows or Mac version.

-===Constellations and Orbs.===
+===The editorially arrangement.===
-Some stars are interlinked to signs. From time to time new signs will uprise and old ones will disappear. If one star in a sign is activated by a shockwave, the other stars in the sign will also activate.
+The tone color and volume of the created sound depend on the size of stars. A large star creates a deep and loud tone.
-Now and again different orbs like comets or planets will appear. If a shockwave hits  such an orb, a new sound, which is very different, will be created.
-===The editorially Arrangement.===
+===Life and death.===
-The tone color and the volume of the created sound are swayed by the size of stars. A large star creates a deeply and loudly tone. Which sound you will hear is random.
+The shockwave which is sent out by a star has a finite lifetime. With growing size it gets weaker. How large a shockwave can become is related to the size of the star.
-===Life and Death.===

+The interface for our project is built with Flash. All sounds will be integrated into the Flash file, so the game is very portable and easy to handle. The application is also playable online because no special hard- or software is needed.
-The shockwave which is send out by a star has a finitely lifetime. With growing size it becomes weaker. How large an shockwave can be is addicted to the size of a star.

+===The download.===
-The interface for our project is build with Flash. All sounds will be integrated into the Flash-file, so the "instrument" is very portable and easy to handle. The application could be distributed via web because no special hard- or software is needed.
+You may download "Captain Rock'it and the Sound of Stars" as Windows or Mac version.
