thanks for the friendly welcome everyone. i look forward to collaborating with all of you- i enjoy working with other creative and intelligent people. personally i like the idea of crowdsourcing since everybody benefits as more people contribute. to quote eric we can have a tonnn of music lol. just think of me as a fellow contributor in the hive mind(?). feel free to use anything i submit however you want- copy, remix, slice and dice, delete part or all- its totally cool. im using fl studio 8 with various vst plugins and i can provide the original project files if anyone would like them. interesting idea from mother 3 nick. id be curious to hear the different ways everything is remixed. im imagining an arrangement with oh maybe 128 tracks or more he he. would that be possible i wonder? maybe several people contributing a few tracks. and oh wait here's an idea- each person is only given a few of the other tracks to build on- not all of them. hmmm. steven i could probably learn a considerable amount from you about technology and who knows what else he he. please dont feel outclassed for i am a student myself. its true i received the nickname "the ear" but my son's claims may be unintentionally exaggerated. you see we were sitting around drinking absinthe and champagn and i started spinning tales about the good old days... just kidding. but i need to say rumors that i transcribed the minute waltz in 59 seconds are completely false! frankly although its obvious alan got his good looks from me, he *must* have got his intelligence from his mom d: enough levity- i have an appointment on chiron beta prime with a man named mycroft. happy birthday mr wells.
