Finally - The 2008 MinuteMusic Project!


Our minutes have finally been combined!

Lawrence & I have each been making minutes for the past 2 months or so, and each time one of us finished we would send the other one the last 3 to 5 seconds of our minute. The other would then build upon those 3 to 5 seconds to make a new minute. Tonight, we finally put them all together! This is the 2nd time we've done this - the first time was the experiment that began our whole minute music website.

A lot of it is roundaboutly about this dude. Long story.


Anyway, I think it sounds pretty goddamn awesome, what do you think?

The inaugural project: MinuteMusic V 1.0

So this is the thing that started it all: the original Minute Music Project. The system of MMP1.0 was as follows:

  1. somebody makes a minute of music. can be any sort of music whatsoever
  2. this somebody chops off the last 10-15 seconds of their minute and sends it to their collaborator (or opponent, depending on how you look at it)
  3. the recipient receives the 10-15 seconds, listens, analyzes, holds it up to harsh scrutiny, then crafts a minute of music that picks up where those 10-15 seconds left off.
  4. the recipient, flush with the joy and power of having just created a fresh minute, lops off the last 10-15 seconds of their new minute and sends it off to MinuteMan #1.
  5. repeat ad infinitum.
So anyway, that's how it went, and this is how it sounded:
