Description

Offbeat aims to give players access to a massive library of objects to pummel. Self contained in a virtual space, players can make a fully realized percussion kit, or just a mess that can be cleaned at the press of a button. Many of the objects are things one would find on a construction site, in a household, in a warehouse, or in a professional music studio. The main goal of Offbeat is to push the boundaries of how music is made with today’s technology, and inspire players to take the philosophy back into the real world.

The music therapy and education communities will also benefit from Offbeat, in that virtual reality provides therapists and teachers with a dedicated space to hold sessions. The types of objects to be used as instruments can be chosen to suit the needs of clients and students individually. This allows for a great educational opportunity as well.

Make Noise

Experiment with different noises and sounds by banging on a variety of instruments and unconventional items. Every object will have a unique sound to discover.

Make Music

Assemble your own percussion kit out of a myriad of objects within the environment. Dedicated users can compose and rehearse their own musical rhythms.

Make a Mess

Feel free to arrange items all around the room without any worry of cleaning up. With a single button press an unorganized room full of instruments, pipes, and tires will be stacked and put away.
