Love Letter #17 "Wave Raid" 

Dear SoundCloud,
I already knew you rocked but gamifying your player is ingenious. For those you have yet to
play with Wave Raid, it's an app that has you collect all the comments in a song while it's playing.

Love Letter #16 "Conductor"

To NYC's Subway Riders,
This interpretation of the MTA's subway schedule is much easier on your ears than the 4, 5 & 6 platform at Union Square. Conductor by Alexander Chen turns the NY's subway system into an interactive string instrument. Using MTA's actual subway schedule, the piece begins in realtime by spawning trains which departed in the last minute, then continues accelerating through a 24 hour loop.
See you on the next train,
Sheekster

Love Letter #15 "International Dancer"


To Those Who Enjoy Awkwardly Funny Videos,
The International Man of Dance should tickle your fancy. The interactive component 
of this video is that you get to control his dance moves, outfit and genre of music. 
There are plenty of possibilities, like dancing the salsa to Russian folk music in Korean pop gear.
Love,
Skeekster

Das Racist has everything you need right here. The NYC rap duo lights up the joint with references to 80s classics RampageFroggerCentipede and Tetris. Extra lives if you can spot the Zelda and Double Dragon references.

Love Letter #12 "Plink"

Dear Dinahmoe,
Along with having a killer name, you've also created a fun little music game. I also hear
you're an integrated music and sound production house from Sweden.
I bet life is pretty sweet!
Love,
Sheekster
