Pitchfork's Soundplay is an interactive program focused on the intersections of music, gaming, and technology. In conjunction with Intel, Pitchfork has commissioned some of the most innovative game developers working today to create new, original games inspired by songs we love. These games don't just use music as a soundtrack; their scenes, characters, and settings are all driven by the song. Soundplay's games were produced by our partners at the video games art and culture magazine Kill Screen.

The first two games, launched last month, were Jake Elliott's game inspired by M83's "Intro" and Santa Ragione's game inspired by Matthew Dear's "Street Song". Today, Soundplay is pleased to introduce Bennett Foddy's "Sun God" game, inspired by Cut Copy's Zonoscope song of the same name.

Bennett Foddy is a former member of Cut Copy, a philosopher at Oxford University, and an acclaimed game developer. He is best known for the web games "QWOP" and "GIRP", which have been shown at the Museum of Modern Art and the Pulse Art Fair in New York, nominated for an IGF award at the 2012 Game Developer's Conference, and have been played by tens of millions of players.

"Sun God" is an experiment in cooperative dancing for two players, or one player with two hands. Two mysterious people haul each other up a pulsating hill, capturing glowing embers between twin trails of light. The hypnotic beats of Cut Copy's titular song control the light and motion of this blooming cathode-ray glitchscape. Play it here.

The Soundplay Arcade at the 2012 Pitchfork Music Festival will allow fans to play games in the Soundplay series, including two never seen before. The festival takes place this weekend, July 13-15, at Chicago's Union Park. Friday and Sunday tickets are on sale here.

In late summer, Pitchfork and Kill Screen will host a two-day "game jam" in New York, where independent developers will have two days to collectively build a game inspired by a piece of music. The game will later be published to the Soundplay website. Pitchfork.tv will film the event.

Thanks to Soundplay's sponsor, Intel.
