Interesting thought...
on: October 02, 2006, 01:49:08 AM
Have you guys ever been in an english or writing class and everybody has to write one sentence that then makes up part of a collective story? 

I was thinking that would be a sort of a cool idea for music composition.  Somebody could post a sibelius file with 2-8 measures of their music and than another person adds to that with their own original music and so on and so forth.  It would work especially well in a forum like setting that we have here on pianostreet.  All sorts of people could contribute. There would have to be some rules so that the song doesn't sound like trash at the end, for example: no changing time or key signatures.  I think that could be fun and at the end we would have a collective song that a lot of people worked on. 

What do you guys think?  Let me know:)

I don't think that changing time and key are a bad thing, nay not at all, but when were talking large groups of people - its probably better if you avoided that.  But i don't know - maybe I'm wrong.   8) You tell me.
