I was just cruising around on Loscil’s MySpace page recently. (You can find the link to that and a few others under “Check these out” in the right most column.) Under their “Blog” section is a link to the Relay Project. The project is described as “A dialogue between sound artists curated by Chequerboard“.
Relay website (so far)
More specifically:
“Commissioned by the Model Arts and Niland Gallery as part of model::offsite, Relay is an online music project devised and curated by musician John Lambert (aka Chequerboard). Lambert will invite a selection of irish and international sound artists and musicians to contribute to Relay over the duration of the project. He will record an initial sound work and then relay this piece to the first contributor. Each work will be published online as it is completed, and this page will map the path of this dialogue of ideas between artists.”
I love efforts like this. We have open to us so many new avenues for collaboration and exploration … and the costs for doing so approach zero.
The possibilities are legion.
