  1. Josh Urban Davis

    Standard Connect Four (drop a disc into any of the seven columns, first to line up four wins) with a twist: every drop sweeps a bar once across the columns, left to right, and sings whatever pieces are stacked in each one as it passes. Row picks the pitch, color picks the register, and the skin you choose is the instrument -- every game becomes a score no two players will ever repeat.

  2. Josh Urban Davis

    Standard Reversi/Othello, heard as a phrase being rewritten. Outflank a line of discs to flip them. Every move plays the previous board, then its new arrangement: flipped discs keep their place in time while changing register and reversing their melodic contour. The skin you choose sets the instrument. If you have no legal move, your turn is skipped.
