Online music projects.
Two music projects I discovered recently that draw on the power of the internet:
- In Bb 2.0 is a “collaborative music/spoken word project” from one Darren Solomon. It has aleatoric elements similar to Terry Riley’s In C, but uses a menagerie of pre-recorded YouTube videos instead of a highly interpretable score. It’s much easier to understand if you try it out, though — take a look.
- Kind of Bloop is billed as “an 8-bit tribute to Miles Davis.” Organized by Andy Baio and funded through Kickstarter, it will feature a collection of chiptune musicians covering the tunes from Davis’ signature album. Baio hoped to raise $2000 to cover licensing fees and other costs, but after three days he’s already gotten more than twice that amount.
Digital distribution is only the beginning.

Hah! Honestly, it was just an excuse for me to code up an old-school HTML table. I used to pride myself on my ability to do that, back in the day. :-) Glad you like it.
(Incidentally, my internet friend Jessamyn is a fan of the front-page table as well.)
