Lissa Davies on 05 Jun 11students create musical journeys out of street layouts. Roadside elements act as instruments and cars are the players. Students can create whole islands of music by creating a street layout, adding objects that generate different sounds and adding cars to play the music. Each object has an object panel where students can adjust the sound, volume or clone the object. Students can determine when a sound will be played based on the ground lighting up when the car passes. Junctions change the course of passing cars or can "loop" a sound. It is easy for students to get started, they just click "Create a new island" and away they go. Students can name their island anything and save to return to it later.
