Not sure yet, will get back to you on this one.


It has been done in instrumental electronic music at least as far back as 10 years ago. The first time I encountered it it was called a "music virus." (I don't know whether that is the only term used for the concept.) Musical sequences would be created and passed on via disk to be modified by subsequent user/listeners. I would assume that with the maturation of the internet there is even more of this now, but I would have no idea how to tap into it, and I'm not sure I'd want to. Something about the term "virus" that raises a vague alarm. O_o
