I got an idea! A Collaborative Team Battle! This is a one off, and outside the normal challenges.
Ever wanted to work with a fellow Elektronaut? Now is the chance.
I want to form two teams of 4 (or more if enough people want to get on this). Each participant will bring an element to the public thread. It could be a sample… or a break… whatever cool sound they want to work with.
I will then form the teams… I will make it random, and I will make sure if two people bring a break, then they will be on separate teams. I will keep rolling the dice until it works out.
Then here is where the teams produce with the elements. I say make a 4 to 8 bar loop, and each team member gets a section of a track. All 4 will work making a cohesive track with all 4 team members loops.
It can be any genre, and any style… I suggest agreeing on a tempo and a key… (or not!)
I know it sounds crazy, but I worked it all out. I will do all the heavy lifting of keeping things organized going into this.
Now here is the cool part… say you commit to this… and something comes up and you cant get your part in on time… You gotta put up whatever you got… so there could be a weakest link aspect to this, where three sections are banging, and one of them is unfinished mess… IT GOES IN!
Say a team member ghosts… then you have to have a section of silence in the middle to represent his part!!
Basically, I am saying it is okay to drop the ball… it makes for an interesting outcome…
As far as deadlines goes, once I see if anyone wants to play the game, we can decide stuff going into it, get everything sorted, then agree on a timeframe and when to start the clock.
Then I will reveal the teams and start the clock.
