Track Lab is unlike any other musical experience, through the power of PS VR you can create beats and tracks that not only sound great but are truly original.

History

Track Lab was inspired by a concept imagined by Senne de Jong, one of the Little Chicken founders. He came up with this during his college days. The original game was devised in such a way that you could send a beam through a set of samples and have them bounce around using mirrors and splitters. It was a fun way to experiment with making music in a non-linear way. It was also a great way to make puzzles using audio, however this was very much a 2D concept and the idea was shelved.

Another one of the Little Chicken founders, Tomas Sala, was eager to update the game and use technology to make it feel more modern and cutting edge. The team agreed that VR felt like the right platform to bring it to life as you could actually be at the centre of the music you were creating.
