Help compose the World's Longest Piece!
Each composer gets up to 2 minutes of one section for which he/she is resposible. The composer will deliver a stereo audio file of that section. The composer will own his section of music, but must release it under a creative commons license, allowing it to be placed within the larger composition.
The music will not be for sale or license. If any money is generated from the work, that money will be given to a charity (voted on by the contributing composers.)
This is an unending work. Our hope is to have hundreds of composers work on it, and to always be adding new ones.
Each section should flow as well as possible into the next, therefore we are creating a pattern of simple transition rules for the composer to follow as much as they can.
Let's make history, baby.

(we want a player here that will allow you to input your mp3 where it goes and do the crosfades accordingly. Leaving blank spaces and silence for the empty spaces that have yet to be composed. Anyone know how to do this?)

Chris:
Once we have an MP3 ready - doyou want it on our other music files, or do you have a special ID for this group to send it to?

Comment by Mike Torr on August 27, 2009 at 3:05am - OK, I'll do it! Let's move my previous selection so that I get section 2 instead. I think it will motivate me to find time if I know everyone's waiting :)

- Hi guys - Jered has to back out. This means that slot 2 is open. Look at the 'Section Chart' for details. Who wants it?

- So I saw Jered Rutan is signed up for the second part. I just sent him a message to see if he still wants to do it. If not, we'll get someone else on it soon!

- For it to really work, you just have to sign up for a slot and do it - make the beginning and ending fit like in the directions and do whatever you want in between. Part of the coolness is the great differences in styles and sound that there will be! I think we need someone to sign up for the second slot and do it, so I can post the first two parts together and people can hear how it might work together...

Chris - I'm kind of tempted, but I am not sure I have the time either :|
I still plan to finish my section though, at some point, and I'll keep posting comments too now and then. I'd like to see this project succeed.
