Cryptowen Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Here's an idea I was just thinking: It's great being able to stream tons of stuff on SC & places like that, but sometimes I wonder if there's truth to the idea that it devalues music. Probably not, but still, I'd say there is something special about physical media with unique art & a collection of thematically linked musics. Both consuming & producing (speaking from personal experience, I was more excited about releasing things when I put actual albums together, unlike the last year/half where it's been "put random stuff out randomly when I'm bored"). So, my idea. A group of music-maker types (namely EKT, but if successful it could expand to other places for a wider range of styles), each member sending a physical copy of their music to another person in the group & receiving music from someone else (I imagine pairings being determined randomly, or geographically to reduce postage costs). It could be a professionally produced CD they're already selling, a cassette tape, a burned CDR with pictures doodled on a napkin, or whatever. Point is it would hopefully be something where a bit of thought went into the overall look/sound of the thing. If there was enough interesting new pairings could be made every so many months, a sort of musical gift exchange program. Would there be any interest in this? Ironically I haven't produced a proper album or EP in some time so if I was in this I'd either have to make one or dig out something I made back in highschool.

Cryptowen Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 ^Yeah, that would be fine, as long as most of the participants use their own tracks I think it will work out well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
