Forum - Week 1 - "The Synergy Project" - 07/03/08

With a focus on collaboration much of the discussion reiterated artist's personal experiences in the area and how it has contributed to the realisation of various projects. Some were more vocal in their general promotion of the act than others, covering the ground in perhaps too much detail, but the point was made clear: “Collaboration enriches artistic outcome”.

For me the standout example of this was Ross Benicia’s Audio Mulch software and the associated community of devoted programmers and artists that has emerged around it. The Melbourne ‘Café’ jam sessions described and displayed on video were an inspirational example of collaboration as a vibrant living entity. Topping this off with the ‘Reactable’ was a teriffic finale to his presentation, and an indication of just how different the situation for Music Technology artists is in Europe as opposed to Australia…
