11 skladatelja lančano stvara neki dio ukupne skladbe a potom priloge objedinjuje koordinator projekta. Novi soundtrack (zapravo dva) za film Kabinet Dr. Caligarija samo je jedan od 40-ak sličnih projekata Chain Tape Collectivea, u kojima je već sudjelovalo 80-ak muzičara. Projekt Bugs primjerice, sastoji se isključivo od softverski obrađenih snimki različitih kukaca diljem svijeta. Fascinantno.

The CT Collective was originally started by Michael Klobuchar as a chain tape group; that is, as a group whose members recorded music by mailing a master tape throughout the United States and Europe. The finished tape was then cleaned up and distributed to the members as a CD. No one got paid for any of this, and the organization, mastering, and mailing of our collaborative projects was done by members who volunteered their time and resources.
Since then, we've started to do more than one project at a time, and we've also decided to streamline the recording process by having people simply mail their contributions to the person mastering the project. After this stage, copies go out to other people who have volunteered to duplicate CDs and distribute them to the contributors and to other interested parties.
As part of our effort to streamline what was otherwise a rather cumbersome process, we have organized a main mailing list through which all projects are now coordinated. As projects get underway, they get their own mailing list.
To join the CT Collective, suggest projects, and contribute music and/or labor to the cause, go to the links page and click the mailing list link.

As part of the project, public domain footage of the film was located and restored. The film was re-divided into six acts after the original scenario, tinting was added and new inter-titles were created approximating the style of the original film.
The result, while not a definitive restoration by any means, is a brighter, more colorful version of the film somewhat truer to the original than other freely available prints.
Each of the eleven composers worked in isolation from the others scoring one of the film's six acts, with the film visuals being the only common reference point.
Each of the eleven scored from a unique viewpoint and style, yet the striking visual coherence of the film was sufficient to ensure an emotional continuity in soundtrack approach. Even more surprising, sonic elements and motifs are echoed and reiterated throughout the film, despite the fact than none of the composers heard the work of any of the others prior to submitting their own work.
All components of this project, including the film, are either in the public domain or licensed by the creators under a Creative Commons Non-Commercial/Sharealike/Attribution 3.0 license. Others are strongly encouraged to download the project and re-use the materials therein to say something relevant about the film or their own lives.

The Wire
Ingvar Loco Nordin | "The idea behind the Chain Tape Collective is nothing short of
brilliant, and also a sign of our times, as distances and locations no
longer are obstacles on the way to diffusion of the arts. (...) The Chain Tape Collective is world wide and works within projects, specifying the work needed to be done, which I think is a very good way to keep ideas flowing and have the different projects develop within their basic frames. (...) these frames are not very hard to stay within, and they don’t restrict creativity, but rather give it a trajectory, an aim. I’m sure these kinds of initiatives pick up a lot of creative goings-on that would otherwise not be diffused like this across our globe." |

One Minute 2012 |
coordination: Michael Peters A collection of one minute pieces without any other rules. This is our second "Miniatures" album, following the "Seventy-Five Seconds" album from the year 2000 |
|
Domestic 2012 |
coordination: Rinus Van Alebeek All songs are an interpretation of the theme "Domestic". The finished project was not distributed on CDRs as usual, but on audio cassettes which were individually designed by Rinus. Project description, from the original invitation: "domestic. But see this theme also as an adjective, so as a point of departure because it can refer to things/objects/situations/memories/ related to your life in and around your house but also used as in inland, like domestic flights both possibilities are welcome" |
|
Harmonics 2011 |
coordination: Nick Robinson A harmonic is "an overtone accompanying a fundamental tone at a fixed interval, produced by vibration of a string, column of air, etc. in an exact fraction of its length". My first encounter with them was as a teenager, watching mystified as Rory Gallagher moved his hands down the neck but the notes played got higher! I eventually learned what they are and to this day, remain fascinated by the bell-like purity of guitar harmonics. For this project, harmonics of any kind were deemed acceptable, even "comb filter resonance" which Michael Peters assures me are harmonics. |
|
Counterpoint 2010 |
coordination: Peter Gambles Tracks weave their way through the western Counterpoint tradition, utilising anything other than traditional musical instruments. The challenge is to create tracks based on counterpoint themes and theory but without sounding like classical counterpoint. |
|
Reverb 2010 |
coordination: Nick Robinson Reverbs - many and various: the most prominent element of each piece, used to give differing sense of "place" throughout the piece |
|
Quartet 2009 |
coordination: Nick Robinson The inspiration for this project was to place some restraints on composition 4 tracks, 4 instruments from a related musical family, 4 minutes long. I wanted to encourage music with perhaps a stronger emphasis on melody and harmony than on the textural approach of some CT projects. |
|
ReUse 2009 |
coordination: Jim Goodin Re·use (r-yz) tr.v. re·used, re·us·ing, re·us·es. To use again, especially after salvaging or special treatment or processing. [TheFreeDictionary.com] |
|
Generative 2009 |
coordination: Fabio Anile "CT-Generative" is based on the Brian Eno approach to generative music. I ve provided a subsite with more detailed infos about the process and contributors and a "Generative Room", where you can test the shifting process, playing with the original audio clips of both projects: http://www.eterogeneo.com/Generative-Music/Generative_Room.html |
|
Nature 2008 |
coordination: Anders Östberg The description for this project was to make a composition that reflects our natural environment or wilderness - things that have not been substantially altered by human intervention. |
|
Zodiac 2008 |
coordination: Nick Robinson The inspiration for this project was the signs of the zodiac. The idea seemed to promise strong themes, formed a coherent set, and required suitable numbers of contributors. Ronny arrived just too late, but he luckily discovered a 13th sign, so he made it in the end. As ever, we each interpreted the sign in our own special ways. |
|
Bugs 2008 |
coordination: Krispen Hartung CT-Bugs is a collection of compositions based on a set of sample recordings of a various insects from around the world. No other sound sources were used other than the insects. The artists, all members of (CT) Collective, manipulated these sample recordings with various effects and audio software, in order to produce their final work of musical art. |
|
Acoustic II 2008 |
coordination: norelpref A "sequel" to Acoustic I, which was produced in 2001. All the tracks are "acoustic," or at least dealing with acoustic instruments and/or dynamics. |
|
Birds and Men 2008 |
coordination: Nick Robinson The inspiration for this project came from my abiding fascination with birdsong. There was such interest (and discussion over group parameters!) that we decided to have a group using only the sound of birds (cunningly entitled "Birds" and another combining birds with human generated sounds; "Of Birds and Men". |
|
Birds 2008 |
coordination: Nick Robinson The inspiration for this project came from my abiding fascination with birdsong. There was such interest (and discussion over group parameters!) that we decided to have a group using only the sound of birds (this CD) and another combining birds with human generated sounds, "Birds and Men". |

|
MRI 2007 |
coordination: Krispen Hartung All the songs on this CD were based on a set of sample recordings of a real MRI machine. The artists manipulated the samples with various effects and audio software, using the output as their final composition, or using it as a backdrop for adding additional recorded tracks from various Instruments. Visit this website to view additional information on the project and buy the physical CD for cost (non-profit, manufacturing cost + shipping only): http://www.krispenhartung.com/mri/index.htm |
|
Papermusic 2007 |
coordination: Nick Robinson Paper Music - pieces composed using only sounds generated by the folding, squashing, tearing, flapping (etc) of paper. Contributors were "allowed" to process the sounds in any way they wished. Ideal to practise your origami to ;) Daryl Shawn has written this review of the Paper Music project |
|
Great Speeches 2006 |
coordination: Fabio Anile The focus on this project was to to compose a music to "furnish" a famous speech. A "great speech" is a speech that has a relevant historical, religious, political, artistic or social content. The goal is to realize a music encyclopedia of some important events. A review is here |
|
Live 2006 |
coordination: Tim Nelson CT-Live is a virtual concert. As with the Collective's previous efforts, this recording is based around a theme, in this case that the music on this project was performed in front of an audience. |
|
Poem 2005 |
coordination: Michael Klobuchar The focus on this project was to use a new or already existing poem in any language and create a background for the poem |
|
Film 2005 |

|
Location Volume 2 2004 |
coordination: Matt Davignon Music created from field recordings around the world by members of the CT Collective.

|
Percussion 2003 |
coordination: Tim Nelson All sounds on this project are the results of things being hit, struck, beaten, shaken and/or stirred. |

A very nice review of this CD was written by Ingvar Loco Nordin. |
|
Acoustic 2001 |
coordination: Tim Nelson The guidelines for this project were basic: only acoustic instruments allowed. Some contributors stayed traditional, working out pieces to be performed live in real time, while others built their tracks using an array of instruments that would make an ethnomusicologist's head spin. |
|
Product 2002 |
coordination: Matt Davignon "Source" and "Product" are actually one project. The premise was: For Source, everyone contributes 5 minutes of sounds. For Product, everyone contributes music using Source tracks as the only sound source. |
|
Source 2002 |
coordination: Matt Davignon Source and Product are actually one project. The premise was: For Source, everyone contributes 5 minutes of sounds. For Product, everyone contributes music using Source tracks as the only sound source. These tracks weren´t really intended as standalone musical compositions in the way that the other collections were. |
|
Object/Videogame 2000 |
coordination: Morgan Hamilton Lang A split CD. The first half challenged contributors to use seemingly less-than-musical objects to make interesting noises. The second half features tracks created using only sounds from video games. Go from bicycles to exploding monsters in one convenient package! |
|
Ambitative 2 2000 |
coordination: Raül Bonell Tomàs it's ambient music, but not wussy. Part 2 of 2. |
|
Ambitative 1 2000 |

|
Philter Phrenzy 2000 |
coordination: Miko Biffle This project focused on the use of filters - broadly conceived - in the production process.Wahs, computer noise, FM, AM, and ring modulation are only the beginning. |
|
Seventy-Five Seconds 2000 |
coordination: Tim Nelson The Reader's Digest of CT releases, artists contributing to 'Seventy-Five Seconds' were not given any stylistic guidelines, only a time limit. The result is a 58-track grab bag featuring a huge variety of styles, textures, moods and sounds, all wrapped up in convenient single-serving packages of about a minute and a quarter each. |
|
Akapella 2000 |
coordination: Michael Klobuchar The challenge: twelve technoids must use only their mouths and their various supersonic processing machines to make something interesting. No instruments allowed! The result: an exciting variety of pseudo-pop, incantations, declarations, and just plain weirdness. |
|
Found Sound 2000 |
coordination: Matt Davignon Here, we restricted ourselves to using only preexisting recordings and bits of sonic jetsam as source material for the music. Most amusing! Watch out for that chew toy! |
