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?

A Sketch

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.

wikipedia could be taken as model of such a collaborative effort; a collective intelligence

However in wikipedia there is a goal: to create the more accurate body of knowledge as possible.

What could be the goal of a collective musical 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)

Example of a game/composition:

Material: the week's #1 hit song
Rules: users can only use material from that song; no effects should be used, only editing;
After that week/month the song is finished;
The various versions will be juxtaposed in chronological order
Distributed widely (where to?? is there anyway of submitting a song for the tops??)

Technology

we are thinking of using git to as the underlying structure managing version history

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

---

Other's projects

Eleanor: facebook censored from facebook

if you establish a social protocol that circunvent the restriction that allow a social experiment

pirco wireless code of conduct - for Eleanor project

Graphic scores and Git

Dave
Cornelious Cardew - The Great Learning - negative feedback built into it
the reproducibility and
the social idea between open scores
if open composition were tools for allowing non-musicians and trained musician to compose-play together
graphic scores and open composition

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
