ChristianPerrotta Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I had this idea this morning and would like to share with everybody. Here's the thing: - We open for subscriptions with a limited number of composers (like 10, for example); - After the limit is reached, a neutral person (moderator/reviwer which is not participating) chose by chance (or any other criterion) pairs of composers (so, we'd have 5 pairs); - Each pair will work toghether and compose a musical work, maybe following some rules or directions; - After the previously specified date, all the work is posted here! - This could also become a competition. Or not. Maybe just the collaborative work itself is enough^^. Why this all? I believe it's a good opportunity to share knowledge with other composers, learn with each other's compositional styles, techniques and ideas. If not by chance, pairs could be made by mixing composers with contrasting compositional styles, or with the same ones, or even by subscripton order (if we subscribe by PM to someone, no one knows who's in, nor the order). What do you think about it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiangyik Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Sounds like an incredibly fun idea! I would't like it to become a competition, though -- it can potentially create a rather unpleasant working relationship, and not one I would like to be part of.

ChristianPerrotta Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 Nice! I've been rethinking it, and perceived that the competition is really off the table^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austenite Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Hmm... I'm pretty weak at cooperation :unsure: , and I'm wondering who could I be paired with :horrified: ... But overall, it's a good idea to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrcramer Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I think it could be interesting. I once made a piece with someone else. A measure for each, and then it was the others turn. But halve way I took over (I needed to preserve the form, haha) So much for cooperation :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Locrian Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I've done this and it didn't work.` Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristianPerrotta Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 well, 5 people interested. If we have 1 more, we could make 3 pairs and start! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wandering genie Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I´m new here. If I am able to participate, I´ll gladly do it. Are there any kind of deadlines? Do we have to record the finished piece or do we have to send the score? or both? Any style is allowed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menelik Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 In before some jerk claims that the Cocky-Posser Phil is back in disguise. The only guy that does that is the one that uses famous dead modernist composers as his alternate usernames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menelik Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Talking to your fake accounts doesn't make them seem more believable, Phil. Just because you do it all the time doesn't mean that everyone else has fake accounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boi4luvin Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I'd like to collaborate with Austenite. :wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristianPerrotta Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 I've counted 5 people interested in it:1) xiangyik2) Austenite ( ?)3) jrcramer ( ?)4) Buckaroo5) wandering genieIs "boi4luvin" a real member? (no offense)The ones marked with ( ?) are the one that didn't exactly stated "I want to participate", but simply demonstrated interest. I'd like to participate too, but if I do so, I won't be able to manage the pairs. I'd make it by chance, but who'd trust me? =(If we have all these 5 participants, I'll include myself and ask another member to arrange the pairs (by chance). If we have less than 5 (and an even number), I'll arrange it myself and won't participate. Please, everyone mentioned here, and more interested people, state your interest so that we can start this. I'll put a deadline to subscription as January 8th. After this day, we'll have the pairs decided and start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austenite Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Bob likes little girls, not little boys. No further explanation needed. I'm still curious about this collaboration - that is, if it will ever get done. But a lot will depend on who is one paired with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boi4luvin Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Bob likes little girls, not little boys. He hasn't seen me do a pirouette to Adriana's waltz yet. I'm sure I could convince him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristianPerrotta Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Ok, six komposers:1) xiangyik2) Austenite3) jrcramer ( ?)4) Buckaroo5) wandering genie6) pervycreeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thatguy v2.0 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I'd be down. I think it should be a competition, since an added incentive will help not only those who view themselves as weak when working with another, but it may help get the ball rolling.

wandering genie Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 It will depend on deadlines for me. When I replied to the post saying that I would like to be involved in this project, it was november. As time went by, I thought that the project would not be developed anymore... Now, though I still would love to be involved I´m facing a couple of situations. Here in Argentina is Summer and I´m leaving on Holidays next week... Also, february is a very busy month for me... I would be able to participate if it begins in march... but if it begins in an early date I´ll have to apologize as I won´t be able to get involved. :veryunsure: I don´t want to make a compromise and then not being able to fulfill it. Anyway, if it is not this time, maybe the next... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristianPerrotta Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 Without jrcramer and wandering genie, we have 4 composers: 1) xiangyik2) Austenite3) Buckaroo4) pervycreeper We could start now and make 2 pairs. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJS Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I am somewhat curious but the details are pretty scant. What kind of collaboration are we talking? Two people working on the same piece (movement)? Or, say, one person writing a movement, another person writing a different movement--that kind of thing.
