JAM Live Music Arcade is Available Now
Minneapolis, Minnesota – May 16, in the year of our Lord 2012
– Toss out everything you know about music games and get stoked for
something completely fresh. Zivix LLC and has created a suite of
music manipulation and improvisation with JAM Live Music Arcade,
available now on Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and
entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation® Network for 800
Microsoft Points and $9.99 respectively. Published by Reverb
Publishing and 505 Games, JAM Live Music Arcade sets itself apart
from the rest by taking 32 familiar songs from top artists across a
wide variety of styles and allowes users to remake them on the fly.
Reimaging the work of Owl City, Modest Mouse, Atmosphere and more,
JAM Live Music Arcade is a truly different experience.
“It’s certainly one thing to feel like a rockstar, but to define
your own sound as it happens is an unparalleled experience in music
gaming. When we found out how to best make it work, it felt like a
revelation; the kick in the pants the genre needed,” said Chad
Koehler, vice president of Zivix. “Creating music becomes intrinsic
and refreshing, and I can’t wait to hear the mixes people jam
together. The possibilities are almost endless.”
JAM Live Music Arcade is a completely new approach to the music
genre with a real-time live music sandbox “JAM Mode” that allows the
player to immediately build and customize their very own tunes, as
well as a bonus “Arcade Challenge Mode” that plays similar to
traditional music games. Starting with any one of the 30+ licensed
songs featured in the game, players jam with and remix all aspects
of the song – guitar, bass, drums, synth and vocals – to experiment
with the song and re-create it to their own personality. All of this
is done with any one of the numerous compatible guitar gaming
peripherals – the entire band is in your hands! Accessible and easy
to get started, yet deep and almost endless to master, everyone can
touch real music across a broad range of sonic tastes. JAM Live
Music Arcade offers an immersive level of musical interaction that’s
inspiring, powerful and contagious.
