Projects for factories

Andre: a factory for making collaborative songs (based on samples)

Questions

(think about you want to get across, the issues/questions you'd like to address)

Online collaborative sound/musical composition

  • what are the motivations to participate in collaborative sound works ?
  • what results might arise from such process?
  • how can such a system be devised?
  • what will bring users to participate?
  • what existing examples of collaborative music composition exist?
  • can it become something not serious?
  • copyright laws? - an advocation of plunderphonics?


Sketches

  • could a song be created collectively, with unrestricted contributions?
  • could Distributed Control Version System be implemented in for music making?

A system that allows anyone to contribute, to submit his version, to resurrect previous version
To put a song in permanent construction.


  • compositions could be devised as games

Each one starting from a given sound material, a given set of rules, and an aim
(bringing a bit of humor as in Oulipo creations)

  • wikipedia could be taken as model, in that moderation is the responsibility of the users

If a submission doesn't respect the rules, users can decide to go back 1 version

  • mix tape culture books - tape of favorite songs


Interfacing

how the projects could enter into a dialogue?

  • Dave - svn, git. What does he wants to head with it? What is his take
  • Eleanor - shared storage, maintenance

Each project has to think about 2 interfaces in other projects

CONCLUSION OF PROJECT PRESENTATIONS

ideas are medium specific

  • applying the factory paradigm to the medium which we are familiar with
  • the next step is to abstract from the media; what are the common lines between project

when they similar in their structure and their approach
