Another activity for you, or at least for those of you into #electronicMusic, #modularSynth, etc.

"Patch Exchange" -- with the process in the name. Prepare a "set of settings and configurations for the synthesizer" that another player will explore blindly, with other participants following musically.

It was done in #AukiPodcast starting from episode 2. All four games are great there as always, but this specific title is at 5:24:

#improvisation #dmgBoost

Today's #dmgBoost spotlight is "Songwriter's Notebook" by Matt Hanna, musician and #gameDesigner.

It's a proper flip-and-write #boardgame with traditional #playingCards that generates you a melody contour and themes. A version for our #wiki stresses the performance aspect, but you can see a more theme-based ruleset in this #youtube vid:

"For Lonely Musicians" from #RichardReason's "Games for Musicians" (ca 1969). It's one of eleven cards, and it's with the text:
> Find suitable clues and/or play it.

> Play any Schönberg piece, but only play the notes belonging to C major.

This initiative has a short profile on our #wiki with some prompts incorporated into our random systems (thanks to author's good will). Many more "exercises" are available at the source:

#dmgBoost

#BrunoFaidutti is a well-known #gameDesigner of #boardgames.

You can imagine the joy when Bruno contacted the G4M account (long time ago, on other social media site that used to better) with a smaller musical parlour-style side-project to put on our #wiki.

"Musical Brouhaha" is for a large group of players in a larger open space:

"The Hidden Object Rite" by #ChristopherHobbs:
http://musicgames.wikidot.com/sub:scratch-015

It's from #ScratchOrchestra's #NatureStudyNotes (1969), digitised for the #wiki from handwritten copies as it was originally published.

It has guessing, but rules don't determine the music a lot, only the overall length of improvisation and the moment when some of the players should stop.

The cooperative approach would make playing suggestive ("musical hints").
