To me, the most successfully musical idea was Jeremy Blake’s, who _isn’t_ classically trained. Jeremy is coming from the background of modular synthesisers where “controlled chaos” is the daily bread, so it’s only natural that he best knew how to approach this challenge for a very musical result instead of your usual atonal music. Way to go, Jeremy.

I was thinking very much on similar lines, but as a game designer my mind went: "this would be great as a soundtrack for a complex environment". With each instrument phasing in and out as you move through the environment you would be able to hear an evolving harmonic song that evolved at the pace you moved. Works nicely because the easiest way to tie music to the environment is to attach them to a fixed point in the environment, like you just put a speaker there.

It's weird but this is probably the first time in the entire history of music where musicians can make music together without being in the same room, leading to truly random music.

The first one has a "nature" vibe to it, like all the different instruments playing are various animals in a forest, and the flute melody is like a bird soaring over it all. Very peaceful. The third one made me imagine a rainstorm. The pizz. strings at the start resembling the beginning light raindrops, and then when the winds come in it adds a certain chaos, like the dark clouds rolling in. I don't know quite how to describe the feeling the guitar adds to it, except that it starts fairly "in-key" with the strings and then gradually grows more dissonant when the winds come in. Maybe a traveler getting lost in said storm? Maybe it's just me, but those two pieces brought such clear images to my mind!

A popular prominent performer was an Australian blues guy living in an Asian country, Japan perhaps, accompanied by someone in Europe and others in America playing together live. The hardest part was time zones, as one would obviously have to be up before dawn not having had breakfast yet, others it was midday, and the rest were tired at the end of their evenings!

That was an intriguing idea, and I was really impressed with the results. As Mark said, the individual composers' voices came through. Each piece IMO was successful, each in a very different way.

This idea has some kind of similarity to Frank Zappa's editing-as-composition technique of Xenochrony. He'd take isolated tracks of different instruments (usually improvised solos) that were performed at different times in different tempos and sometimes different keys, and edit them together in interesting ways. This is kind of that concept in reverse, but there are still choices in the edit that would change the outcome drastically.
