Okay, so I have an idea that could be fun ... if not excruciating ...
The world has been given such gifts as Malmsteen, Satriani and Vai's "G3" ... but ...
What if the world was given a truly ... uh ... special gift?
What if the world was given an original song by "GN2"!! ... hack ... cough ... wheeze
It could end up being the (?)*st song in the world!
[ * insert your choice to complete the adjective here: (greate) ; (wor) ; [C] (longe) ; [D] (strange) ]
What if - just for laughs - we collectively composed a song?
I don't know how it would work yet ... maybe we could move in "steps", voting as we go:
- Initially, we would have a few ideas of what the basic melody might be
- Interested members could record their ideas and post them ("File Lodge", "Soundclick", "putstuff", your own site ... whatever) and provide a URL to the MP3. I'm just talking basic home recording here ... whatever you've got ... not necessarily studio quality.
- Members would then vote on which melody to start with (the choice that receives the highest number of votes would then be used)
- I don't know if that member's recorded input should then be finished, or if that member should continue to be eligible to participate in every level? ... any thoughts?
- Members would then submit other ideas, such as bass, guitar solos, drums, etc. , and we would vote on which one should be mixed into the original to progress the song to the next level
- and that process would be repeated and voted to move to the next level ... and so forth ...
- ... Until we eventually get to the point where we have something that is defined enough that we can (create and) vote on lyrics
I imagine this process could take quite some time, as we all have responsibilities outside of GN2 that could prevent recording in a timely manner.
But it could be very rewarding (yeah, sure).[/size]
It might just be the (...)st song the world has ever known known known known ... or, you know ... not
Anyway, just an idea for now ... any thoughts?
