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! )

Satellite 62 sends my groove down to you
bob your head ...move your bod
feel it even...when it's odd
heat the fire...cool the frost
win desire when it's lost
hold the rhythm, release the fear
see the distance before it's near
these words are purely incidental
no lyrics needed in this instrumental !

Police believe the crimes are connected
They believed the same person killed
But they would not say what evidence they have

Well, until we finalize the investigation, we don't want to categorize it

Social media posts share another name for it...
Serial Killer

That's where the first body was
Some of the bodies have been there a couple years
Some of the bodies are still intact
...skeletal remains

(E)For the open collaboration I give the credit and the copy to the author of the track titled "Honourable Composition" Miss Libby Laksmi. I have collaborated on the track adding electric guitar with melodic and rhythmic motifs as well as mixing the track.

... thank you  * @dubstep-its-my-life * for the title idea 
know they fear this because this is invisible and know this is invisible because of their fear
so now know this will never be ...

... we are frightfully sorry, but everything we are about to tell you is true ... we do feel badly about the entire thing ,,, you see, no part of this ridiculous human being who hangs out with flies and who somehow keeps insisting that he has tiny shiny wings had even the slightest creative input in making these "sounds" ... well, technically his body sort of was there at the transference Event ... i guess
... aaanyway ... the thing is this, we did kind of use him as an impromptu- organic 4-D printer but our options where fatally limited and we thought we made entirely sure that he stayed unaware of the psychic data being transferred via his neural net, sorry ... central nervous system for lifeforms , and the chemically induced heightened state of overclocked consciousness , which we shall take full credit for, certainly rendered his body and mind in a near coma state , precisely to prevent him having any memories ...and quite frankly , we are shocked
... that idiot was supposed to have no recall , Honestly

but somehow his feeble mind remembered the sounds of the hyper-dimensional transfer searing and burning straight through his brain and now actually believes that he created that noise and calls them "songs" ... we know this one is entirely on us, since we mutilated his tiny and alarmingly un-wrinkly brain for this most important Universal maintenance, again, our bad ... but just look at him over there , he seems so happy now
... it breaks ones heart to have to inform this silly, silly man that these "songs" are in truth quantum kinetic protocols, 4-D blueprints of Cosmic DNA, or more like bits of origin code in charge of setting the vibration value of any string in this universe since the beginning, and is handed down through a transference such as this one, only every ... oh dear, last time humans where not even around yet ... damn time flies ... and yeah, we know that we are eventually going to have to tell him the truth ... eventually ... stupid happy monkey has a broken brainses

Not sure how to tag this. It’s a mood, a state of delirium, fever-induced con-fusion. My friend has the corona virus. This is what fever feels like.

Delirium

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.
