WISP: wordimagesoundplay

1

5 /5

WISP is a collection of experiences for the PS2 console. Human and strange. Animal and familiar. Happy and sad. Music made from people. Stories crossing each other. Japanese and English. Language and translation. Sound and shapes. Seeing stories and hearing tales. Films and pictures. Music and sound. There is gameplay on WISP, but there are no games. There is no story that holds the whole thing together, but there are stories. WISP isn't a music title but it's filled with music.
wordimagesoundplay is a music experience "game" for the PlayStation2™. The title features music from Underworld and Tomato. The software is made up of four main parts:
- Miracles & Wonders: A mysterious story is told in a three-dimensional space, which can be traversed infinitely. The music is a collection of remixed Underworld tracks, lasting more than 20 minutes.
- Sleeping Eye: Find the hidden links between 15 different compositions. Graphics and sound provided by Tomato.
- LatLongStories: Two separate stories are told on the screen, one vertically, and one horizontally (representing latitude and longitude). The stories merge together and the intersection becomes a hyperlink.
- Phonology: Eight people appear on the screen and each one can be used as a channel of sound. The people are all members of Tomato, performing strange actions while a sound is played. This creates amusing visuals with a surreal soundtrack.
