Musical Telephone Game, Part 1

It looks like I've got myself involved in an experimental music game.

The game is experimental, not necessarily the music. Although it can be. And pretty much all my music is experimental, in that I know so little that every thing I do is an experiment. I don't consider myself much of a musician beyond playing drums. But I digress.

The game is something of a musical Telephone Game. No telephones are involved, although email, FTP, etc. will be. It's more like The Telephone Game many of us played when we were young.

Accomplished local tunesmith Jesse Wilder is the instigator of the game. I'm sure I'll refer to him as DM (Dungeon Master) at some point.

It will involve 4 other...musicians. I was going to say local musicians, but I know that one in this group is in Germany, and another is unknown.

5 musicians are picked.

1 musician is designated to start the game, creating/creating/programming 1 or 2 tracks for a piece of music/song that is no longer than 6 minutes.

Musician #1 sends the track to Musician #2, who adds his/her own 1 or 2 tracks to it, mixes it/them in and sends it to Musician #3, who does the same thing, and so on.

By the time Musician #5 is done, the thing will have mutated quite a bit. After that, everyone will give up their high quality wav/aiff files to be mixed. The DM will probably mix the final product, but I'm sure each musician will be able to do their own mix after all is said and done.

Sounds like fun. I'm in the first group, and I'll be the 2nd to add my tracks. Wish me luck.

I'll post the results when the game is over...unless it's crap.
