About The Melody of Dust

A door to an abandoned temple. A whispering column of wind. Are objects really singing as they move through the air, or is it just your weary mind manifesting a melody from idle pieces of luxury littered around your bedroom?

From Viacom NEXT and musician Hot Sugar comes a Virtual Reality experience where you move between worlds to layer melodies in a hungry tornado; seeking to unlock a song that has been eluding you your whole life.

Features:

  • Discover over 80 unique melodies, crafted from the combinations of different objects.
  • Enjoy the first music album exclusively available in Virtual Reality.
  • A visual, interactive soundscape borne from the mind of Hot Sugar (The Roots, Broad City)
  • Best enjoyed in full positional VR on the HTC Vive.
  • No doves were harmed in the making of this experience.

I hope this is the near future of all innovative music: an incredible, immersive experience like digital hallucinogens. Synaesthetic and surprising (I nearly fell to the ground from standing in my living room when... well I'll let you find out), with dope music of the same quality as the environment. When music can come from anything and be found anywhere, you're effectively creating a world of magic. The cauldron at the center of this ancient temple is, then, an appropriate visualization.

I liked my VR hands. The sound/music is very good, loved it! The entire concept is a little too surreal and eclectic for my taste, too much Dali for me :) But it's cheap and I love people experimenting with VR so that's why I support these weird titles and even recommend this.

[h1] Played on the Oculus Rift with Touch controlers, without any issues [/h1] There are a lot of VR games / apps that offer a unique experience in VR. It is a new medium that does invite a lot of experimentation. This app not only does deliver on its promise of a unique experience, it's also an enjoyeable one. I'm not even sure how to describe it though. It's a music VR experience that changes depending on what you do. There's stuff to explore that changes the outcome of the mix. I enjoyed the music and the interesting visuals. The visuals were not the best, but it was trippy and it was cool seeing how things I did effected the sound. If you love music in your VR and if you like experimental stuff, then this is a must download. Rating 7/10

This is not exactly a game. This is more like a musical album that you take part of. A must have for Nick Koenig's fans with a VR headset, and a nice experience for anyone who wants something different and relaxing. Be careful, the high number of particles effect makes the game hit hard on the GPU. You might want to bring supersampling to lower levels to keep the 90FPS steady.
