Switch Sessions are a new form of musical collaboration. They allow musicians from across the globe to rapidly trade ideas and extend their musical directions. It works like this:

1) Two musicians begin new songs simultaneously.
2) After a set time (e.g. 30 min) they switch.
3) They work on the song passed for 30 min.
4) Switch back. Rinse. Repeat.
5) Continue for 4 to 6 swaps. (2 to 4 hours)

If you want to get notified when new sessions are posted, point your news aggregator at our rss feed.

 
The switch technique can be applied to any number of musicians: just decide on an order for the passing and stick to it! Also, per session, the time between swaps can be adjusted, but it's important to stay on schedule. Half the power of the switch session is that it forces you to get something done within a set time.

Everyone who plays will probably need a fast internet connection and it helps lots if everyone can agree on a composition platform (e.g. fruity loops, cubase, sonar, shared hw modules, etc).

If you've finished a session and want it posted, send us mail with a link to the final results and we'll post it.
