    • Pixel Soundscape 1: Acoustikitchen

    Acoustikitchen, the first in a series of exploratory pixel art soundscapes, is a Max patch created by Claire O'Brocta in 2025 using original pixel art and audio recordings. The Pixel Soundscape series features pixel art scenes with hidden clickable triggers. Interacting with these triggers allows the user to modify the soundscape by adding layers of looping sounds, beats, and audio filters. Some of the triggers are easier to find than others; this allows soundscapes to be made easily, but the experience gets more interesting with additional exploration of the scene.
