This project is based on The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster, one of my favorite books. It’s about a boy named Milo who goes on a quest in a magical land, and one of the things he encounters is the Silent Orchestra. Things go awry when he tries to conduct it himself, so I made a game challenging the user to conduct the orchestra. I developed this project to experiment with translating analog media into digital form to create a more immersive storytelling experience. I drew the sunrise graphics, and used illustrations and quotes from the book.
