Violince in the Pitt

a game played
with two real violins.

two players.
one shared screen.

how it
works

Each player bows a real violin adapted as a controller. One controls the left wheel of a shared on-screen violin; the other controls the right.

No musical training required.
The rest of the orchestra isn’t helping.

02 / the game

bow movement → wheel movement

Matching forward bow movements send the violin forwards. Different movements make it turn. You can also reverse.

The music is made from recorded violin performances. The game responds to bow movement, rather than judging the notes you play.

a little coordination
goes a long way.
