Seeking MA/NH musicians to experiment with improvised minimalism

Hello,

I’m looking for people in the MA/NH area to form a very big group…no specific number in mind, but maybe 20 or more? I have no preference as to instrumentation: the more eclectic, the better.

My goal for this group is to experiment with improvised minimalism. I have no interest in music theory and don’t want to rigidly adhere to a certain key or meter or whatever. But I’m also not interested in creating shapeless blobs of random noise. I like structure in music, but I want the music to form itself.

I’ve used the word “I” a lot, but ideally this would be a pure democracy, with no leaders and no heroes. The whole point would be to break down all of our tendencies and build something new and weird with the pieces.

If you’re interested, send me a message and we can discuss our ideas in greater detail.

Do people in CA (Canada) count? Is this is a collaboration in real space or here in the virtual world? I am doing a documentary about the creative process so please let me know how it goes either way.
Cheers!

My intent was realspace. I know there are ways to collaborate virtually in realtime but I’m not very familiar with them, and I may not even have the gear to pull it off.

I don’t want to close any doors though. I just wanted to throw the idea out there and see if people were into it. If it leads to anything, I’m sure it will mutate quite a bit before it arrives. I’ll let you know how it all goes, and if it looks like this thing is taking a virtual turn.

Great :) I certainly don’t want to effect your idea negatively or unnecessarily but you could always have virtual elements mixed in and with realspace. Thanks for keeping me in the loop. Whatever it becomes it sure sounds interesting now :)
Cheers!
