Now that the house adventure is starting to draw to an end, and there's a chance I'll regain my normal life, I have something I want to try: short, collaborative, songs.
- Songs must be no more than 30 seconds long. Shorter is fine.
- People are free to add / subtract / modify the tracks any way they want. If you want to add a part, fine; if you want to change levels / add effects / mix / etc. existing tracks, fine; if you want to chop the song up and restructure it, fine.
- We (anyone who wants to participate) could use Audacity, which is simple, free and multi-platform, to handle multitracking/editing.
- I could probably open up the FTP site here, to handle file storage duties. It would be nice to have some kind of cool source control mechanism to handle check-in/check-out/revision, but I'd rather keep it simple.
Any interest?
I’m not much of a musician but I do like to mess around in Audacity and am a decent editor, looper, mixer/remixer. I could certainly embellish songs, or mix them with other stuff if anyone is interested in that.
The great thing about making your song 30 seconds long is you can get it played on the radio by buying a commercial spot.
The Residents! Love them.
My plan is exposed’
I’d be up for it. I already use the Kompoz site, which allows multiple users to participate in recording songs. They also take care of storage etc of all tracks. Just an idea.:

kompoz is fine with me.
