The Audience of the Singular is a game where you, the player, takes on the role of the DJ of a 100% procedurally generated soundtrack.

The Audience of the Singular explores the idea of the player acting as an active participant in the creative musical process. By playing the game, the player shapes and performs a uniquely generated musical score for a virtual audience.
AOTS uses a corpus-based, machine-learning system to generate music which attempts to emulate music from video games of the 1980s and 1990s. The system generates music in real-time to accompany the player's actions. The player mixes this generated music to match the whims and wants of the audience. As the player mixes to their audience, the audience becomes more excited and grows.
The music is played by a custom-build PureData patch designed after the original NES Rioch 2A03 chip with the Konami VRC6 expansion chip.
AOTS was created as part of Cale Plut's MFA Thesis, at Simon Fraser University.
