Snake for Schwung

A compact Snake game for Ableton Move that turns its 8×4 pad grid into a playable instrument, with food triggering notes or chords in the selected key.

Snake for Schwung brings the classic game to Ableton Move as a standalone Schwung module. The pads become the board, Move’s arrows and encoders steer the snake, and every piece of food plays a note or chord through the selected track.

The musical layer stays predictable rather than random: notes follow a repeating melodic shape, while chord mode moves through a short progression built from the chosen scale. It is a small experiment in making play, composition, and hardware interaction occupy the same surface.
