I've been brewing an idea (literally, ie. mixing and boiling ingredients in my skull) of... dun da da DUUUUUUN!..... A social music experiment! This idea is about an "experiment" that is "social" in nature and about "music", hence "social music experiment". or something... This is just an idea, nothing started or concrete. There needs to be organization. Our collective goal should be a "super" audio composition, superior (at least in man hours spent on it) to anything an individual could realistically accomplish by themself (maybe not if an individual like aphex works with unique software in a unique way). If 50 people participate for example, and each contributed the time usually spent on an entire track to their assigned 1 part out of 50, the result could be great. Participants need to know what and how to contribute. All the contributions would need to fit together as a whole at the end too, which means the parts need to be assigned in a digital way then combined later. Most likely, people would have different opinions of how to organize who does what and how, and there will be miscommunication and people who don't follow the rules well (like qrter). But I suppose glaring flaws like qrter's contributed part would give it character at least. One obvious way to set it up would be to assign each participant one "measure" of the track. So, the entire track would in effect be diced up like a pack of life savers, each person working and polishing one life saver. Since dicing it up seems the most natural way to assign parts, our composition goal should perhaps be quite digital (something like richard devine's lipswitch, so the parts will naturally fit together sequentially) It seems the most natural thing to create with so many people contributing would be something complex... simply because it's hard for an individual to create tedious stuff, but probably easier if each participant works tediously on one part. An ambient track tends to have a limited number of parts and is too an |

and is too analogue to dice. |

that's an interesting concept. it would require someone with exceptional organizational skills to put something like that together. one problem that could arise is that "too many chefs spoil the broth" - a lot of people means a lot of different tastes and opinions on what sounds good and how it should go together, etc. not a bad idea at all, though. |

Maybe:) I don't know the human being behind that "qrter". And am not for a long time here to say for sure. |

Give it a go. I like sprawling, bloated epics. One thinks of Sandinista by The Clash, Apocalypse Now (Redux) or some other big things. Ambition, lofty aims, impossible dreams, madness... i want in. |

This process would work well on, say, squarepusherish beats because they're so digital, and each measure tends to sound better when unique. But I have little idea of how anything like melody or background ambience could fit in to this process. Maybe there just shouldn't be any. |

I don't have a computer, too. Shouldn't we start a new thread about qrter?//// No, it's out of rules to discuss people....:) We are definitely talking offtopic, sorry, w M w. |
