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

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
