Musical games at Spitalfields

Summer is peak pervasive gaming season - it’s now less than a week to Come Out and Play in New York, for example. If that’s a bit far for you to go, though, how about Spitalfields?

Composer, game designer, and Sandpit stalwart Simon Katan will be running musical games as part of the Spitalfields festival, this Friday 12 June, in Bishops Square Spitalfields E1. There’ll be live performance by Kate Ryder, Jean McGowan, Dan Shilladay, Richard Thomas and Dominic Lash; and it all sounds like pretty much the best possible way to spend a Friday lunch break.

They games up for playing are Rubik Music, a puzzle built from contemporary musicians, and Congestion Zone, a noisy maze for frustrated motorists.
