Ficlets for Music?

Posted by Kevin Lawver 4 months ago | Permalink | Comments (14)

I found this the other day because I love all things Creative Commons, but it looks like the idea is spreading. Go check out rifflet. Basically, it’s ficlets for music. Musicians (or the rest of us) post sixty seconds of unfinished song and then everyone can come, download them, and mash them up. How cool is that?

And yes, I’ve been absent. I probably will be some more… I hate to do it to you guys, but it seems like you’re managing quite well on your own. We just passed thirty thousand stories on ficlets the other day, and well, that’s amazing!

    Really cool…both the rifflets and the 30000 mark. Like I’ve said, I’m happy that ficlets is growing, but I’m kinda sad that ficlets is growing. It’s mine! =)

    Rifflet does sound pretty intense.

    30,000 is a tremendous accomplishment.

    I’ll be happier when there’s a mobile-friendly site. I’ll be ecstatic.

    Cool idea for the music site – I’ve often wondered when something like that would materialize. How long before hits songs include tracks from multiple / dispersed musicians laying down tracks with Garage Band style software?
