Label: DESKPOP

DESKPOP has always been a record label with a strong focus on creating visual assets that accurately represent a product you cannot see: music.

At MAGFest 2018, we had a chance to connect with Audiowave VR inside the IndieArcade, full of other incredible developers (we had a table there in 2017 with BARCHboi's game "DEIDIA"). This team (Grace Foundry) has developed an app that visualizes music in several virtual reality environments: space, snow, and city. It exists on Android and PC where you can visualize any song in your music library. However, for iPhone, music has to be stored within the app itself to be used.

That's when Grace Foundry decided to use new music from DESKPOP to fill the void. Every musician involved created their song specifically for VR, many using environmental soundscapes and binaural panning to add to the immersive effect. Additionally, the visualizer can sense the tempo of a song, so a couple song in here change speed as they progress.
