Right after this site got published over Internet, many more collaborations have been taking place, adding to the already existing ones.
They range from "interesting but no future", "good with potential " to "excellent and promising".
As stated in the "Tipz & Trickz" section, collaborations do have a life of their own. Some don't find the same interest from all members, some do but stay at the idea level, others get a good response from members but take a long time to evolve, and some have such a potential from the start that they naturally and quickly evolve into really creative and challenging projects awaiting publishing, broadcasting, ...
You will find here some of them, certainly not all due to the sheer quantity !! They range in quality (even in my playing), in complexity, in potential. The spectrum is quite large.
As I said, some stalled, others changed and some got finished.
Most are the early takes (preferably the first 3 ), with various processing levels. I provide the writers with pre mixes of the whole idea and then send separate tracks for them to use as they wish.
By this I mean that one has to expect to hear his/her parts differently after submission, for example, in a pre or final mix. Unless there is some sort of agreement not to.
Most ideas, as most of my recordings are probably subject to changes following the creator's desires and the growth of the tune.
Hope you'll enjoy them.
Most collaborations have taken place from requests thru this site, at OMF, Collaboration Central , DigitalMusician , Musicians Collaboration and many more web sites. Some songs aren't featured here due to reasons from copyrights to work in progress.
