turn it into a pyramid. A famous musician plays the first track. Then it goes multi-player. Dozens or hundreds of copies are made. On each copy, a user adds her own bit, and then it's passed on to another (at random? team-based? grouped by style or ability level?), and another. You end up with dozens of pieces of music on the same basic framework. Vote on which version is the best; the winners get to record it properly alongside the rockstar who made the first track.
Bonus: you now have many variations on the same musical theme, each of which can be decomposed into tracks for each instrument. Give them to a DJ, see what she can make out of it.
- anthonyb 16y agoI had a similar idea: Musicians upload bits of music (could be a riff, drum track, solo, vocal, whatever) and collaborate on combining them, altering parts as necessary, etc. You can then mix the bits together into a final track, get feedback on your parts, and so on. To make money you could sell the final track on iTunes or press CDs (t-shirts?) and the site will track which musician gets what, or else just charge $10/month for access.
- richardw 16y agoYes, I was definitely thinking many outputs from one single original drum track. The voting and winners are a great idea! Half the appreciation could be what different muso's do with the idea.
