Zenlike soundscapes made with an online shooter

archived project

Project type: Game modification/sound hack

Technologies: Half-Life 2/Counterstrike: Source, Reason 4.0, Audacity

Counter-Point is a sound mod for the popular online multiplayer first-person shooter, Counter-Strike: Source. By replacing the sound files triggered by in-game events such as gunfire, explosions and shattering glass with soothing synthetic tones and instrument samples, the Counter-Point modpack creates an expressive and meditative soundtrack from the chaos of the online battlefield.

Counter-Point is intended to inspire an examination of the unconscious aesthetic collaborations that occur in competitive online gamespace.
