how would you like the idea of creating collaborative #art through the #fediverse?
Learning collaboration with strangers:
#music:
- one starts recording a part of a possible track
- toot it
- others put another soundline on it
- ...until the first track is finished
- upload it to #mediaGoblin or else?
text:
- have a look what's happening here #shortstory #smallstory
paint/design:
- start something
- toot
- let others continue
universe is a #commons
this kind of music collaboration is very difficult to work on in serial way: adding layers to recordings will pretty much destroy what was started:
A makes a melody.
B adds a beat.
C adds a vocal
D adds a bassline, but cannot adjust the volume of the beat, which is now fighting for bass-space.
who decides when the track is finished?

couple of ideas:
A: use of multi-track FLAC files. eventually they will become huge.
B: use of a pool of recordings with various source sounds/melodies/beats, but then needed is:
C: use of benevolent dictator, who coordinates the creation of a song
D: use of common software, which limits who can participate.
E: final collage of "tiny compositions"

+ couple of online collaborative projects:
The Disquiet Junto is a group in which musicians respond to weekly, fast-turnaround assignments to compose, record, and share new music. The idea is to use constraints as a springboard for creativity.

more on musical online collaborations:
Weeklybeats 2016 was a 52 week long music project in which artists composed and publicly released 1 song a week for the entire year. http://www.weeklybeats.com/
@paulfree14 @Curator @eylul @kemonine
and another format of online music collaboration is "Beat Cyphers", like for examples LA's TeamSupreme: Every week a different producer picks two samples and a BPM. The files get passed around, and everybody has roughly 1 hour to use the guidelines and make a beat.
