Rolling Collaboration

STATUS: Okay, We have enough performers right now, and we're working on the song.
I will put '(done)' next to each performer who has completed their parts so that you know where we're at.
I can tell you, this is gonna be one heck of a song!

I've had an idea in my head for quite a while and I wish to pursue it.
It's an idea to make a rolling collaboration. One musician starts off by composing one instrument track and others join in and follow suit with other instruments.

For this to be pulled off cleanly we'll need a list of everybody who wants to participate and what instrument they're going to perform.
I'll let the genre be up to you and the speed will have to be decided by the first performer.
There will be 9 performers in total, and ideally will be looking for stuff like drums, bass, guitar, piano, synths, singers, backing singers and so on. I'm not looking for a load of guitar players all at once or something like that.
Maybe if this one takes off nicely, I may do another where a different set of artists can have a chance to perform.
Also, a drummer will be taking the first spot for ease of other performers. (Could the drummer also play to a metronome and state what BPM you're playing at? Thanks).

Here is the performer list:
1. Alex LOL Stoica on Drums (done)
2. Elfofchaos on Electric Guitar
3. Deathchip on Bass
4. M-One on Grand Piano
5. Cyril on Saxophone
6. Shadowzeroangel on Keyboards
7. BenAnderson on Synthesizer
8. Insane Kenny on Vocals
9. Merina on Backing Vocals

Once your name and instrument has been added to the list, you can PM me your email address and I will send out the rough mix of the completed tracks for you to record your performance to. Once you've recorded, you can save your solo performance as mp3 (128kbps or above at 44kHz, 16bit, Mono/Stereo) and send it as a reply to the email I sent.
Once all the tracks are in, I will proceed to mix them down as best I can and submit with credit due to the performing artists.
If you feel that you want to take part, please state your instrument below.

Thank you very much for all who participate, I'll keep everybody updated with any changes. :3

Please pass this journal on if you know anybody who may like to join in.

Note: Singers and backing singers will have to either write lyrics to sing themselves or seek other writers to write for them.
