Yeah, Scott, it is certainly a success. It's a pretty cool thing that you took it upon yourself to put such energy into making the work of others into a tangible piece.
I hope it is rewarding for you, and that it energizes you and compels others to participate in the next effort.

K Rex, this has been an excellent starting point, I am very, very pleased that if even people were unable to participate this time around then they did comment on and around it. Music, it's cool. I mean, we can all "talk" theory, and discuss gear, but at some point we should throw down and actually
do something.
I thought that if a whole bunch of people got their hands dirty with some music, and that when it got combined it would be less about the individual offering, and more about the effect of each contribution in a collective context. Y'know? Something that twenty people have participated in, that I think they can all be excited about. I think this piece of music stands out, and if nothing else it speaks to the massive potential for creating interesting projects right here on the inter-web. The world is not so big after all, eh?
I was hoping to get Steve Adelson, Greg Howard, K Rex, Brett Bottomley, Kevin Chiasson, Luc Bergeron and Gene Perry on this but it just didn't work out. I would have asked Emmett, but I suspect he is very, very busy. Maybe the dudes who couldn't make it just wanted to make sure that it didn't suck, or just see how it turned out. Perhaps they didn't have time, and maybe life just got in the way. Or maybe they felt that it was a complete waste of time. I know at least one person is injured and actually unable to play. Lol I am hoping that for the "next" thing, I can get them interested and participating. Having fun doing music is never a waste of time in my humble opinion...
I am hoping it gives someone else an idea, and they do their own thing, something crazy with the tools we have at our disposal... Heck, maybe I will even get invited to participate if someone decides to do something! Let's see where it goes, dudes...
At any rate, I will most definitely be doing more of these sorts of things... I'm already planning another heist as I write this...
Thanks again guys, it was a real honour to participate in this!
