courtesy of Jamie Doom's (Bang Gang) Twitter, I found this amazing collaborative project which see's twenty musicians contribute to a combined piece of music through multiple Youtube videos. The brainchild of Darren Solomon from Science For Girls, contributors were asked to:
-Sing or play an instrument, in Bb major. Simple, floating textures work best, with no tempo or groove. Leave lots of silence between phrases.
-Record in a quiet environment, with as little background noise as possible.
-Wait about 5-10 seconds to start playing.
-Total length should be between 1-2 minutes.
-Thick chords or low instruments don't work very well.
-Record at a low volume to match the other videos.
-You can listen to this mix on headphones while you record.
-After you upload to YouTube, play your video along with the other videos on this page to make sure the volume matches.
And it doesnt stop there. On the site, users have the ability to pick and choose different combinations of which the videos are played. Play as many as you want, at different volumes if you wish, and even start them at different times. Possibilites are near endless, but the results always amazing.
