Thanks! The drums are Hydrogen, almost exclusively. I like its the random-velocity and
"humanize" tempo features. Though I've played a bit with tapeutape and seq24
and/or rosegarden too. There are some PD patches that do interesting drum things as well.
The live drummer I've been playing with lately (
http://www.restivo.org/blog/podpress_trac/web/169/0/morning-bell-jam-2007-0… ), is
such a monster, that nowadays no drum machine or sequencer sounds very good to me
anymore.
Last night, he was playing a pattern of triplet, triplet, 4 straight 16ths, then a
sextuplet in the space of 5 16ths. I'm sure there's a way to get Hydrogen to do
that, but no sequencer I know of is going to *think up* stuff like that, on the fly, in
the middle of a rehearsal.

Sure, but you'd usually pick musicians based on some common style. Still, I'm sure
whatever we come up with will be an interesting hybrid.
I haven't had very good luck doing
collaboration via email and
ftp; it seems to go much smoother and be a lot more fun live
with everyone in the same room, but I'm willing to try.
Sure, live is like nothing else. I want to explore what the
strengths and weaknesses of distance collaboration might be.
I'd imagine that linux audio geeks will have
have more tools in
common than musical styles or goals in common, but that might
result in some very interesting music indeed.
All those differences are the same that one can experience with
live players, no? Then again, we probably all use a pretty diverse
suite of tools
too. What would the lingua franca be? An Ardour project? Ogg or
wavpack files? MIDI files?
Would communication be over email? Via IRC or Jabber or
something more real-time-like?
Man, you ask really good questions.
My stuff is here: http://www.restivo.org/blog/
Nice stuff there for sure! Being a drummer, I gotta ask, what
are you using to get your sounds? I really enjoy the odd-time
stuff.
