Abstract
Stephanie Lind explores the phenomenon of rhythm games by wondering if players untrained in music theory have an intuitive awareness of the musical structures of the games and use this to predict dance moves and gestures. Through analyses of rhythm games like Dance Dance Revolution and Just Dance, Lind highlights instances of kinesonic congruence (the synchronization of gesture with sound) in order to discover the role that repetition plays in these games. Lind concludes that nonmusical players have a visceral understanding of musical pattern and articulation, and that the kinesonic congruence the players experience aids in their perceptions of such patterns.
