If the musician with the "vision" were in control of what was put into
the mix, I think it could function as a sort of a CVS system, with one
or two artists coordinating the efforts of many musicians!  Then there
could be beta releases, etc, saying "OK, here's what we are working
from now."  Then whoever wanted to bail out at that point (or spin
off, for that matter...) could do so graciously.

I think it's a great idea, and likely hasn't been done yet using a
system analagous to Linux software development...  (Of course, I could
be wrong.  I've been wrong before...  ;-)
