Description: In March of 2020, I was curious how a collaboration could sound if the collaborators didn't know who each other were and what they would create. I wanted the collaboration to be created in a straight (linear) path, not mixed, re-mixed and layered over, as most collaborations are created. 
So there I was, sending this invitation to various Sound Cloud artists I follow:
"LINEAR COLLABORATION" is the name of my new project!!
Would you like to to volunteer as a collaborator? ....and it goes like this:
As the concept coordinator, I will tie a collaboration in one linear path starting with my 20- 30 sec. secret/anonymous untitled instrumental. I will pass that secret track to the next person. The next person will create a 20-30 sec. untitled instrumental which they think might sound good right after the secret/anonymous track they received from me. When completed within a week, that person will send their newly created 20-30 sec. untitled instrumental to me. only. When received, I will send that anonymous segment (only) to the person next in line who's style I think will sound as a nice follow-through or an interesting contrast to the secret track they received. The only part of the project you will know is the one anonymous track sent to you. That instrumental will be the one right before your's in the final collaboration track. If needed, the only changes I might make is volume levels and/or shortening the length via fade-in/fade-out. You are the sole writer and producer of your composition. Even if the collaboration track might "sound better" by rearranging the order, I will not change the order in which the tracks are sent and received. I want it to be an honest linear path with unpredictable continuity, contrasts and surprising results. Once the project is complete, I will post it. That is when you will discover who created that anonymous secret track you received. You will also discover who received your anonymous track as inspiration. Best of all, you will finally know who your fellow team members are and how the whole game played-out!
How The Game Played-out! :
On the whole, what you hear is what I got,
What I got was a wonderful result from 12 other collaborators who didn't know what the other's were creating and mixing individually! This comprehensive track clearly represents the personality, style and creativity of each artist. Every contributor has made this process thoroughly enjoyable! As a result, sometime before the end of this year, next in line is Linear Collaboration 2 . How many collaborators and who are next in line? 
... I don't know yet...perhaps one might be you!

Interim Guidance
sonopoem by https://soundcloud.com/ilaria_boffa
background reading: WHO advice, 5th June 2020 interim guidance
pic: sundial hole, detail

'filtration requires understanding 
a certain waste knowledge, responsive empathy 
the advocacy of compliance entitles
the ban on direct intimacy, social asepticity
and it grows from the insides
kilometres as the crow flies
Toccami  / It hurts, touch me
recordings to explain e invece it would be
human to lean my head against your chest
and trust it’s worth it 

when you say interim
the globe goes transitory. It digs a hole
and plants a seed. It expects leakages
non-standard parameters, shared requirements
and breathability. Corporeal continuity 
if only we could stand on a vent
I would show you the origin
we might justify our burns and wrap
the strain in the steam/avvolgere 
la fatica get closer'

Interim Guidance

In September the trees shake their knees,
This is the sound
As they fall to the ground.

Sonopoetry and mix by @ilaria_boffa
Days in Autumn poem pays humble homage to ‘You Must Believe in Spring’ by Bill Evans on message, mood and rhythm. It also refers to Rainer Maria Rilke's poem 'Herbsttag/Day in Autumn'.

Days in Autumn poem by IB

we must believe in spring
Earth axis increases
its tilt to the Sun
dew comes, frost no more
vernal peers share light

many a time belatedly
days in autumn
prepare for cold and
special smell of soil
many a time fitfully

oh we must believe in spring
let snow melt and streams swell
the hardiest flowers sprout
days in autumn
prepare for dark and
many a time forecast the yield

dobbiamo sperare nella primavera
l’asse della terra aumenta
l’inclinazione al sole
giunge la rugiada, scongela la brina
i pari dividono la luce in primavera

spesso in ritardo
i giorni d’autunno
preparano al freddo
all’odore tipico della terra
spesso irregolari nel modo

oh dobbiamo sperare nella primavera
lasciamo la neve sciogliere e i fiumi gonfiare
che spuntino i fiori più temerari
i giorni d’autunno
preparano al buio e
spesso dicono il raccolto
