Renowned artist and musician, Baiyon (PixelJunk Eden) teams up yet again with Q-Games, developer of the highly-acclaimed PixelJunk series, to bring the newest and most innovative experience to fans around the world with PixelJunk 4am. From the crazy, ambient, mellow world which only exists within the mind of Baiyon, PixelJunk 4am reflects a huge departure from previous PixelJunk titles by putting the power of creation directly at your fingertips.

Utilizing the PlayStation Move motion controller and its full range of motion, players can use PixelJunk 4am’s unique Virtual Audio Canvas to mix tracks and experiment with audio effects to create breathtaking compositions they can share and broadcast to anyone and everyone!

I think Baiyon teased it during his GDC session with Naughty Dog's Richard Lemarchand.

Q-Games and Baiyon previously collaborated on PixelJunk eden and Q-Games made the Gaia (space/planets) music visualizer, XMB background wave and dynamic theme framework among other bits!

YEHH i read his facebook status lol the more PJ the better as far as im concerned... they put a lot of time, effort, blood sweat and tears into their work.... once that stops there will be problems but until then keep churning out great software

Dayumn.

Yes.. not quite commercial quality but a short promotional video for use at the Tokyo Game Show.

Hopefully that's a promo for us to see!

All that's known is it's some kind of music visualisation.. thingy!

PixelJunk lifelike is going to blow a certain kind of person's mind, it's simply something that hasn't been done before

It's coming along really well... far beyond the "Visualiser" concept we had originally and into the realms of ultra cool!

[Shin-Ra]

Anything with sharp, stylish vector graphics piques my interest!

Updated the OP with E3 specs, photos and the PlayStation.Blog demonstration.

Looks a little like Spirograph for the 21st century.

I'd imagine that's what it's like to be in Baiyon's brain while he's sleeping but before reaching the REM state. All kinds of wild shapes and music...

[Shin-Ra]

It'd be good if Q-Games made a step-by-step guide to what you control and how to control it. Just watching it played, it doesn't really click for me.
