Project description:
I was curious how a collaboration could sound if the collaborators were anonymous during the process. I wanted the collaboration to be created in a straight (linear) path...passed on from one anonymous member to the next..  not mixed, re-mixed and layered over, as most collaborations are made.
I created a guideline invitation...and it went like this:
As the concept and project coordinator, I will tie a collaboration track in one linear path starting with my 25- 35 sec. secret/anonymous untitled instrumental. I will pass that secret track to another person (only)in the project  who's style  I think will be an interesting following my track. That next person will create a 25-35 sec. untitled instrumental which they think might sound interesting as a follow through to  the secret/anonymous track they received from me. When completed, that person will send their newly created (un posted) 25-35 sec. untitled instrumental to me only as a private un-posted track.  When received, I will send that anonymous segment(only) to another member who's style I think will sound as an interesting follow-through right after that track....this process continues until complete. During the secret process the only part of the project you will hear is the one anonymous track sent to you.  Your sound and the track order of this Linear Collaboration will not be changed during and after the project is complete. When the project is complete and posted, you will be credited as the sole writer and producer of your contribution. 
That is when all the anonymous members involved with this annual Linear Collaboration will finally be revealed to one another!
Enjoy the process and your creative individuality within this annual Linear Collaboration!

Linear Collaboration 2  (a multiple collaborator chain in one track! )

I'm told I think outside of the box. It's hard to think why I'd be inside one in the first place.  A FREE DOWNLOAD of some of my tracks:

My music and production style can sound unique, unconventional and surprising, all for good reasons and intentions. Thanks to all who have listened, liked, reposted and/or commented throughout the years . I always notice and respond.
