How about, nothing longer then two mins.
People can be as creative as they want, 30 seconds, or whatever.... I think it would be kinda boring if all of the takes were each 2 mins long you know?
eh?
Someone should set up a page with a basic faq or something, or some general info you know? or maybe not, I am allready working on my little take
Yay!

okay, I'm in on this.. and if I could, I'd like to help organize this chaos a bit. I also have a good amount of hd space and the right programs to sequence this entire thing.
Here's how this should work:
As a way of securing a sense of continuity in this .. piece, whoever's turn it is to complete the next part of the sequence should hear the previous two parts in their entirety. This will make the finished product seem more cohesive, not a mess cosisting of one tangent after the next. Also, hearing the work of one or two people ahead of you gives you the chance to elaborate on something you feel they tapped into but did not fully develop.
It might also be a good idea to have a constant element in the mix that whoever sequences this can envelop in and out of the mix at the very end.. then again, maybe not. I think there needs to be something that strings this whole thing together. If not something that unifies the entire piece, (that may be a little too restricting) at least something that gives each piece in a given series a little binding similarity. One piece should flow/stem from the next, it cant be a driving, textured melody for one minute, and static w/ reversed speech for the next two.
Everyone, when called upon, should complete a piece that is anywhere from 30-120 seconds in length that serves as a segue as well as a step in a new direction, or a development of an idea or theme recently introduced.
You should make two copies of this file. One should be an mp3 with a 160 bps. the second should be a small file of shitty quality for the next person to hear.
Once the sequence is completed , and before the mixdown, anyone who wants to attempt to string everything together should request to do so, so we can hear varying takes on this magnum opus.
for example there could be mine, then say "Track Title (neeta mix)" or (Dolleater mix).. then we can vote to decide which one should be used, or we could put multiple mixes out there.. I dont know...
let's set February 1st as the date

[they shortened my message...]
let's set February 1st as the date after which the signup list will be locked, and no more people will be allowed to enter. this way we can have a finalized list of people involved and begin to create an order of operations so to speak. email me to get your name added to the list before the 1st (include Xltronic Music Massacre or something like that in the subject)
once whoever's going to set this thing off is chosen (arbitrarily? ..I'm not sure how this should be done) s/he will have 3days to a week to complete this overture. once completed s/he should send 2 copies to me (or just the 160bps one, the lesser quality version should be sent either to me to forward to the next person, or to that next person directly. the next person in the sequence needs to hear the previous two pieces, so it might be better to send them to me.)
the next person in line should have the same amt. of time ( I think 3 days is good enough? .. it's only 2 mins long so...) to complete the next part of the sequence.. the sooner the better; we could have this thing knocked out by the end of february.
alright, that's it.. let me know what you think of this ,.. my email address is scnj2082@hotmail.com.. I'll make a continually updated list of all participants up until the end of january..
let me know.

so so... i see that you're really intersted... but i have to add some things...
this will never work in one month !! 3 days each mix in one month lasts for 10 people !! 20 minutes ?? not much...
no voting for mixes !! everyone gets his unique part... even when it's shitty it will be used...
making it one powerful piece ?? this will be hard. i think that besides sending the next one his track, the two should talk a bit about used programs, samples, for example two users of floops won't have any problems...
constant element ?? this will be hard...

not really, if one wants to continue or develop an idea they liked from a previous part, they should...other than that people can pretty much do what they want, as long as they keep the bigger picture in mind. otherwise it'll be a complete mess..
as far as the timeframe is concerned, there's no way of telling how quickly this can be done, once everyone is signed up we can tho..
what do u think of the 3 day limit?

of course the tracks must have something similar, this can't be chaos, but you said something "a constant element in
the mix that whoever sequences this can envelop in and out of the mix at the very end.."
this seems for me like you're speeking bout a repeated thing through the whole mix... this will not work
three day limit is hard, but for someone who is interested with the idea will make it...
i'm just afraid we won't get enough people for this. 20 would be cool, maybe we could ask phobs about some publicity ??

haha....you guys sound EXACTLY like the soulseek kids doing this. i mean, dead on. every idea, post, everything. pretty soon youll be having an xltronic records or something
its cool though, i had a fun time with the one minute massacre. though i was way in the beginning (second track, i believe), it was cool hearing progressions of how it was done.
all in all, it was fun. i just bullshitted my mix during supper though. still fun :)

the publicity thing is a good idea...
as far as that constant thing, I dont mean a certain melody or rhythm or anything quite that restricting, but rather a sound, an ambient sort of backing noise.. I don't really know how good of an idea that is anyway

We've established the basic rules, I say we hand out some numbers and get this thing going. We probably already have enough for 30 minutes.
If not, people can still join while it's being worked on - they'll just be given the next number in line.

one more thing.. your contribution should not be rigidly limited by a 2 minute time limit.. if need be, u can extend it a few seconds or so, ykno.. so an echo or something can fade out completely... nothing nearing the 2.5-3 minute mark tho...

Lets all just remember that this was dolleaters idea...
and I dont like some of the things being suggested...
"let's set February 1st as the date after which the signup list will be locked"
and the whole voting idea.... thats just going to be too much, and too much to deal with and keep track of
Everybody should be able to contribute whatever they want. And it doesnt all have to flow, it can go however the next person in line decides it should go
Lets just have one general rule that: anyone can make anything under 2 mins. and when we have a list of which people are following after who, with email adresses and contact info and what not, so that the person who made his/her snippit, can send it to the next guy/gal, and so that they can send eachother a small snippit of the audio via email (maybe 10-40 seconds worth?), and converse if need be.
Thats all that really needs to be set in place as far as rules go for this IMO, anything more then that is just going to make this impossible and greatly hinder the progress.
Lets just work on a list of who is going to follow after who, Dolleater, if your going to be the man in charge of all this, get a list going
I mean, who exactly in charge? eh?
If Dolleater is not going to be, then I vote for Pomme De Terre

I agree with everything Mickey Mouse said.
I think the rules should be as loosely structured as possible. If you can come up with a creative way to segway into your track from the last, then great.. if not, no big deal. Everyone that participates will have thier 2 minutes to shine.

I know there are more music makers on this board then that, that would also probubly want to give it a go aswell, so I guess everyone who wants to add their own special magic they can go on after the ---------, eh?

listen, it would be much easier if there was an interlocutor between the creator of part (x) and part (x+1) because someone needs to compile this whole thing, and it would be much easier if that person had the files as they are completed, rather than just all at once.
I don't think there should be a vote deciding anything.. that was just a suggestion should there be more than one mix, and only one planned to be "released"
finally, if u don't set a deadline for this, it could be an ongoing thing that may not be completed within a reasonable timeframe... we don't want a perpetual string of "me too!"s hindering this lil project's completion...
believe me, I can make this a lot easier.. I'm not trying to count anyone out here

You had some great ideas there Theo but I dont think you understand the whole creation process that makes this fun. Its going to be a progressive project. Its going to be worked on from one person to the next. Changing the track orders would defy the original idea. This isnt a dj set. Its a progressive musical collaboration. most of the fun will be in the transitioning from one track to the other.

I don't know how the soulseek one turned out.. was it pretty good? I see what you're saying but isnt there a risk of turning this project into an aimless, tangential thing? anyway, enough playing executive producer; I wouldn't want to stifle ur fun here, kids
I think the different mix idea should be done

Regardless if its tangent, Im going to have fun making this, especially hearing how my peice incorporated itself. I think you want to make a sort of dj set, am I right?

no not really a dj set, but more of a collaborative effort between many different artists where one person's contribution can affect how another person's turns out etc etc. like the butterfly's wing causing a monsoon. hah
I don't see how my ideas take the fun out of it though.. u can still do whatever u want, but hearing earlier contributions would kind of serve as a veritable "you are here --->" marker so that your piece won't sound COMPLETELy out of place
we should do what soulseek did too and release it , lets go for ours.. once it's done we should see if they'll sell it under the soulseek label .. eh?
