Description

Musical Outcome refers to the generation of sounds, which are collectively perceived as Music, as a collateral effect of the players'/PC's actions.

This exploration differs from playing some sort of instrument in the game. Musical Outcome assumes that the player executes non-musical actions and that the game reacts musically to them.

The Musical Outcome may be combined with a background Music to create a global dynamic composition.
