Zero-Sum Game

I've been holed up in my house for about 3 months now...working from home...working on lots of music. Tomorrow I return to my job. This is my last song from this very creative past few months.

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!

Perplexing Patternity is the result of this stormy year. Kind of a purging or clean up. Lot's of hard and weird stuff happening. Trying to manage through it and find some kind of peace amidst all the craziness. Kind of old school electronic. Wanting to escape to childhood nostalgia, but maybe incorporate this hectic all over feeling and the simultaneous search for peace of mind in it. Hope it's something you'd enjoy to listen. For me it was kind of a struggle and the my feeling about whole project is kind of confused, but sometimes you just got to see it trough, I think.
