Enough for a complete CD, but there is still place here and I'm still missing some important names 

[Martin E]

Yes I'm in.
Actually Fred and I have decided to do a collab. So that's only one track for the both of us. If you want however I can always provide a second solo piece.

[kara]

ok, the list is updated
Emptysound added

@Martin : I've added you with Fred. If you want to do a solo piece, no problemo 

[Moon]

Kara, what about a collab with the two of us ?

[tERMoBLUe]

yes, unconditional - kara the intro/ collab in the middle/ moon the extro or reversed ...cya

Now that would be something 
You have to know that, altough Moon and I are Brothers in Arms and we do have a lot  same commercial CD's, we never agree on writing music together

Yes this will be a very interesting project and probably will end up in very experimental music

The list with participants is updated !

I've been in touch with NeoN about a collab and he is going to look into this.

Just curious: what rules (except for of course not containing any copyrighted materials) will the tracks have to commit to? I'm thinking mainly of length issues such as minimum and maximum duration.

[kara]

Good question I've allready discussed this with Moon
At the moment we have 13 participants and at a certain time, we will have to close the participation treat.
So basically the limit is the length of the CD, which is less then 70 minutes if I remember.
I would propose that the max. length would be under 5 min.

Any toughts on this ?

No real minimum, as long as the song stands on it's own. I know great songs that only last 2 minutes. Do bear in mind that the song should be "complete".

[Marc JX8P]

Between 2 and 5 minutes sounds perfect. I had an idea which would be cool if it would work (although I can see a lot of potential problems in practice) is if we could also include a longer piece of, say, 10 minutes that was created by as much of the other contributers as possible. Say, everyone makes something of 1-2 minutes that has to be in a certain range of tempos and includes several bars for fading in and out. Someone else could then build on that and deliver it to the next one. In the end, you should have a composition flowing from one contribution right into the next and hopefully working as a track in itself too. I think it would be important to do this one after another in order to avoid ending up with ten very different and hard to combine tracks.

Well, we can do this as an extra track. If you can find people to join you in this idea, then please do ahead. But do try to make this sound like a whole. Perhaps starting with a simple beat or track of 10 minutes and then letting the song filled in by others might be a way to get this starting.

I propose you make the kcick-off and see how far we get with this one marc
