Music
Musical Journey is groovy and exciting and makes you want to dance. You will have the amazing opportunity to experience interesting beats and sounds, such as reggae bass, trap beat, blues vocals, British invasion guitar and many more. Musical Journey is easy to pick up and anybody can start making awesome music from the get-go!
Educational
Not only is this game entertaining but it also takes you on a tour of the history of musical genres. You will learn more about three historical periods: Chicago in the 1940s during the Great Migration; the migration of Jamaicans to the US and the UK during the 1960s; and the forced migration from Syria during the Civil War in the 2010s. Each of these periods has a special location in the game, where you can find samples of their music. By combining these samples, you unlock more modern samples to make new music and learn about the connections between newer and older genres.
VR game
Musical Journey is specially made for VR. The entire experience is designed to emphasise the role of migration in the development of different musical genres.
Experience the true feeling of being on the other side of the world and just vibe.
You only need a headset for the VR experience – no need for external controllers.
Hand tracking
You can interact with the experience using your own hands – no need to use external controllers or receive instructions about the interaction. Seeing the virtual environment interact with the representation of your own hands significantly adds to your experience.
Desktop game
In addition to the VR game, there is a desktop version of Musical Journey.
