sonic collaboration_1 @11:29 PM

As Plato says, music is in itself a moral law and it is within the creation of sound as a group that many of the finer themes of an advanced culture can be recognised... listening...blending... sharing... respecting... each person holding an awareness of the overall sound, consequently the sum is greater than the individual components.  The creation of a beautiful, uplifting experience.  One mythic sound legend says there were sound temples in which chanting never ceased, and this had such a powerful energetic effect on the community that no law enforcement was needed.  The vibration created was so fine that people naturally respected life and property and each persons birthright to fulfil their own destiny.

sonic collaborations are timeless and transcend cultural difference. wireless communications move towards a global culture. let's make these things work for each other. the question is not a technical one, but a social one - how best can we use sound and music over wireless networks to create and foster positive social networks?

still thinking.

Have you looked at 1 Giant Leap
(www.1giantleap.com), a DVD/CD work that qualifies as Sonic Collaboration? Not wireless, but perhaps a model or inspiration towards your thinking..
