Hey, let's try something!
I was reading a news story about cloud cover (there's been lots here) and it passingly mentioned that cloud cover is measured in Oktas. So I looked that up (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okta) and the little "band name" bell rang in my head. I almost posted it to the band names thread, but then I realized: I wanted that band name for myself... evocative of cloudy skies, it just sounds great for an ambient project. I dug around to see if anyone had taken this (there's a German rock band named Okta Logue, but nothing else that immediately popped up), so I immediately created a bandcamp page (https://okta.bandcamp.com/). But I don't really need a band name for that right now.
So what if I shared it?
I'm proposing a collaborative project, open to anyone here who wants to get in on it and share the general vibe, which is ambient, drone-y music. I don't have many other stipulations than rhythmic elements should be absent (or strongly minimized) and the guiding aesthetic principle is a cloudy sky.
The idea that comes to my mind is that the collaboration would be a twofold process:
1) everyone contributes a number of sounds/stems ranging from 1 to the total number of collaborators
2) everyone then gets to create a track, drawing from the bank of the submitted sounds. (I think it would be cool to have some mixers get some sounds exclusively, but also to maybe have some re-occur in different tracks? This is open to discussion.)
Submitted sounds should be free of ego attachments, as the mixer should feel free to manipulate the sounds as they see fit.
Completed tracks will be posted as an album to bandcamp with a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported Licence (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0).
