I just came across a couple of pages for The Arcade Fire that really impressed me.\u00a0 Both are music videos (Black Mirror and Neon Bible from their Neon Bible<\/a> album), but are completely interactive. And pretty amazing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For Black Mirror, you can turn on and off the various song tracks as the music is playing, so you can hear what the song sounds like with, say, just piano and vocals.\u00a0 I’ve seen stuff like this before, but the implementation is really good.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The second one is what blew me away, especially having been coding in Flash a lot more lately.\u00a0 For Neon Bible, you get to control the lead singer’s various movements as he sings the song.\u00a0 Granted it’s a limited set of movements, but I played through it twice and found a completely different set of actions from one time to the next.\u00a0 So for those of us who really like easter eggs<\/a>, this site can keep you entertained for a good amount of time.<\/p>\n

What’s great about both is that they are on a timeline.\u00a0 You have certain windows of opportunity to do something, and once they pass you’ve missed them.\u00a0 So it becomes like a game (unlike most easter-eggy experiences, where the environment is static and you have all the time you want to click away).\u00a0 A really great idea.<\/p>\n

Remix Black Mirror<\/a><\/p>\n

Play with the Neon Bible<\/a><\/p>\n
