"In Bb 2.0": a Collaborative Project Conceived by Darren Solomon,

here, consisting of an array of 20 YouTube videos with a variety of audio tracks accompanied by visuals of the people creating the audio or other images, any or all of which you can play in any sequence, combination or simultaneously.

I put up an open call on the website for submissions, with these instructions:
  • Sing or play an instrument, in Bb major. Simple, floating textures work best, with no tempo or groove. Leave lots of silence between phrases.
  • Record in a quiet environment, with as little background noise as possible.
    Wait about 5-10 seconds to start playing.
  • Total length should be between 1-2 minutes.
  • Thick chords or low instruments don't work very well.
  • Record at a low volume to match the other videos.
  • You can listen to this mix on headphones while you record.
  • After you upload to YouTube, play your video along with the other videos on this page to make sure the volume matches.

Nice (thanks, Dan!) More info here.
