Back in april I participated in a ‘Callapril’ event on a different synth forum. I was randomly paired with another participant and told to make a track together. Which was a lot of fun! All the other participants also had a good time with their randomly assigned partners.
First we video chatted for a few hours, talking about music and getting to know each other. Then we worked on music. Sending stuff back and forth. Video chatting to discuss what we liked and didn’t like and where to take it. Making up something together that neither of us would have made on their own. And I’m still in contact with him, video calling occasionally.
We actually started work on a new collaboration recently but unfortunately something happened and he is unable to continue at the moment.
Anyway, I was planning to blatantly copy that format next april and introduce it here on the forum. But maybe we should just have such an collaboration-event/competition sometime soon?
