It seems like everything is coming up Milhouse! I found a neat interactive youtube piece the other day, and loved it. I thought it was a really interesting way to use video as an interactive user experience. Today I run across In Bb 2.0.
From http://www.core77.com/blog/videos/in_b_flat_a_youtube_digital_orchestra_14529.asp
In Bb 2.0 is a collaborative music and spoken word project conceived by Darren Solomon from Science for Girls, and developed with contributions from users.
The videos can be played simultaneously — the soundtracks will work together, and the mix can be adjusted with the individual volume sliders.
It is a neat composition, but I wish there was a little more meat to it. The whole sound is rather ambient, which is most likely why it can work for anyone, regardless of when they start playing the clips. Maybe with some scripting you could have one that was more structured, and it would only allow clips to start on proper down beats.
That’s great! The music sounds perfect for what made me feel was a social experiment where I was harnessing the lives of musicians to do my bidding. Also, reminds me of the soundtrack to ‘Special’ a little.
