Be Your Own Rain God

Description

In this immersive installation, participants take on the role of rainmakers, orchestrating their own thunderstorms through two distinctive modes. The first, a free-playing mode, invites individuals to generate their personalized storms by interacting with an electric taiko display. The intensity of their performance directly influences the gathering pace of storm clouds, culminating in the triumphant arrival of rain. The second mode, a precision-playing experience, challenges participants to execute a specific musical phrase, vying for the esteemed title of successor to a retiring rain god.
