[LAU] A virtual LAU chillout band

[Marc-Olivier Barre]

Hi,

As a starter, I'd also like to be in :-)

I can play... loads of stuff. Derbuka, digeridoo, Cajon, guitar,
piano, recorder (heh, well... I've been to school :-)

MIDI could be used for collaborative composition, With a set of fixed
downloadable instrument samples to work with. Then could the real
recording/mastering part come.
Another possibility I've been thinking about is a fixed database of
wave files assembled in an ardour session. The ardour session could be
edited in a collaborative fashion using SVN, while the audio would be
out of this scope (audio files are just too big for
SVN/GIT/CVS/WhatEver to handle)
