update: june 1
after 4 months learning by doing some participants have succeeded in
working out their own personal versions of africana and i edited them together
into one of ca. 17 minutes, an apparently rich style file being derived
from a few elementary samples. i would like to see it released on a cd,
so watch out! it certainly has deserved it. but you already can
a special edited trailer of africana. will take you approx. 20 minutes.
even if it is a rather large file of 6 mb it can be only recommended to
listen to this first collaborational result of ours on the internet.

enough samples collected as it appears. now it's the turn to create a basic track, everybody one on its own. these tracks will later get edited into one common track which will function successively as the basis for everyone's overboarding fantasies...

we will first start on the rhythm track details. the mp3 files should
get downloaded and the participants should try to create own rhythm files
which can easily get synchronized with the original samples. these newly
created files van of course stand for themselves and don't need to be mixed
with the originals beforehand. 2 bars have a duration of exactly 3.0 seconds.
when these rhythm units are created they will be uploaded again onto the
server and the next step would be to create a basic track consisting out
of the all the elements the team has created and collected.
