cadavre esquis



Cadavre Esquis is an online collaboration of musicians from the freejazz.org community. Here are the rules of the game:

A track is seeded by a musician providing a starting track. Someone else will then download that track, add a further layer and then post the result. Overlayers are not confined to the most recent track, and can reach back into the history of the track to fork it. Results are then posted here for your listening pleasure. All tracks are what they are; there is no 'finished track', although a compilation has been released on whi music. If you are interested in adding to tracks, click here for more information.

There is a thread set aside for discussion of these tracks at freejazz.org:
click here to access it, and post your thoughts.

In October 2008, a compilation CD from this site, Imperfect Silence, was released on whi music: go here for details of that.
