• Consemble
is an original, web-based Open
Compositions venture launched by Chameleon Lectra
on the 14th July 2007. It is ongoing.
•
A
Consemble is a collection of sounds, assembled
by a group of people, which are then played using
random methods to create an everchanging, online
listening experience.
•
YOU
are invited to listen to the current Open
Consemble Consemble:
K and then email your own sounds
- the ones you think ought to be included - to build
this web-based, indeterminate PMusic
composition.

•
Every
contributor will be credited and the work will be available,
for free, from this website. Anyone may take part -
amateurs, professional composers, sound artists, non-musicians
etc. - there is no age limit. You may, of course, just
want to listen to the pieces as they progress.
•
From
2007 there have been an annual series of project licences
(Consemble: A, Consemble:
F etc.) - each with its own brief and specifications
to guide you; the intention however is to be broad,
welcoming and inclusive. Consemble can be understood
as a sound art or music project.
•
Every
person's contribution is equally important - each sound
adds to, and changes the direction of, the Consemble.
Please
bear in mind that this work will be available for free
to all, including children (so no pornographic sounds
etc.)
and no copyrighted material—just
your own music or sounds.
This project is still live with three current
Consembles as deadlines have been extended - see
