How We Work
The process is simple:
- I write a short piece of music, 140 beats or less (more on that later).
- The parts (and click track) are sent to the various musicians around the world who…
- record their parts in remote sessions (using what equipment they have available).
- When they’re done recording, they get the recordings back to me via DropBox.
(if you don’t have DropBox installed, click here http://db.tt/blPSL7rX) - I mix all the parts together to create a virtual orchestra.
There is no money at present; everyone is volunteering their time.
I compose the music right now because we’re still in the stage of outlining the process, fixing all the bugs. Eventually the goal is to open the process to other composers.
About my music
My music tends to be highly rhythmical and uses odd meters (11/8, 13/8) to create a feeling of two and three beat measures. This way, we actually have a lot more than 140 sub-beats in the music, but the over all feeling is still less than the 140 limit.

You can hear an example here: Flown the Coop
Flown the Coop is a concept piece down with just a string orchestra to prove the concept works.
There are also articles posted on interchangingidioms.blogspot.com - search the tag TwtrSymphony. You can read about TwtrSymphony as well as see samples of parts.
Sound Interesting???
