The project was recorded in approximately 30 seconds by each of the 13 artists across borders using the network technology.
Each Track was perfected as an experiment to become a “one music" by keep protect to a few elements. Let's start with this music Please Listen to me.And I believe that reading the descriptions(Rick Shearer) is the key to further cultural development.
It's a great honor to be part of this project.
Thank you. To all of you.

Description: In March of 2020, I was curious how a collaboration could sound if the collaborators didn't know who each other were and what they would create. I wanted the collaboration to be created in a straight (linear) path, not mixed, re-mixed and layered over, as most collaborations are created.
So there I was, sending this invitation to various Sound Cloud artists I follow:
"LINEAR COLLABORATION" is the name of my new project!!
Would you like to to volunteer as a collaborator? ....and it goes like this:
As the concept coordinator, I will tie a collaboration in one linear path starting with my 20- 30 sec. secret/anonymous untitled instrumental. I will pass that secret track to the next person. The next person will create a 20-30 sec. untitled instrumental which they think might sound good right after the secret/anonymous track they received from me. When completed within a week, that person will send their newly created 20-30 sec. untitled instrumental to me. only. When received, I will send that anonymous segment (only) to the person next in line who's style I think will sound as a nice follow-through or an interesting contrast to the secret track they received. The only part of the project you will know is the one anonymous track sent to you. That instrumental will be the one right before your's in the final collaboration track. If needed, the only changes I might make is volume levels and/or shortening the length via fade-in/fade-out. You are the sole writer and producer of your composition. Even if the collaboration track might "sound better" by rearranging the order, I will not change the order in which the tracks are sent and received. I want it to be an honest linear path with unpredictable continuity, contrasts and surprising results. Once the project is complete, I will post it. That is when you will discover who created that anonymous secret track you received. You will also discover who received your anonymous track as inspiration. Best of all, you will finally know who your fellow team members are and how the whole game played-out!
How The Game Played-out! :
On the whole, what you hear is what I got,
What I got was a wonderful result from 12 other collaborators who didn't know what the other's were creating and mixing individually! This comprehensive track clearly represents the personality, style and creativity of each artist. Every contributor has made this process thoroughly enjoyable! As a result, sometime before the end of this year, next in line is Linear Collaboration 2 . How many collaborators and who are next in line?
... I don't know yet...perhaps one might be you!

MototsuguEndo: Name : LED-M or Led-M, Mototsugu Endo / 遠藤基嗣
Profile:In the early 90's, as a student, he became interested in "frequency/sound" in his electronic experiments.
This was the starting point for his electronic music.
First he bought a cassette player to listen to music for the first time, and then he bought an analog master keyboard and a used Roland JV-880 synthesizer. He then completely customized those instruments and immersed himself in the creation of music.
After a few months of sending a few songs recorded on cassette demo tapes to FORM@ RECORDS, the result was that he embarked on his own path of music.

名義：LED-M or Led-M, Mototsugu Endo / 遠藤基嗣
プロフィール：90年代初頭、学生である彼は電子実験の中で「周波数・音」に興味を持ち始めました。
それが彼のエレクトロニックミュージックの出発点です。
まず音楽を知らない彼は初めて音楽を聴くためにカセットプレーヤーを購入し、アナログマスターキーボードとRoland JV-880というシンセサイザーを中古購入した。そしてそれらの楽器を完全にカスタマイズして音楽の制作に没頭しました。
その後カセットのデモテープに録音された数曲の楽曲をFORM@ RECORDSに送った数ヶ月後の結果、彼は音楽という道に踏み入ったのです。
