Re: 11 minute looping piece @ 11:11 on 11/11/11

Very cool idea!  Agreeing on a standard tempo (111 bpm was suggested earlier) sounds good.

It might make sense to fool around slightly with the duration and/or tempo to get  a total beat count that's nicely divisible into common bar lengths.  Here's one possibility:

Add 11 extra beats so the total beat count is 11 min * 111 bpm  + 11 beats = 1232 beats.  This is nicely divisible by 4, 8, and 16.  

Losing a bit of symbolism, another possibility is to add 15 extra beats to get 1236 total beats.  This is divisible by 3, 4, 9, and 12 allowing for some interesting polyrhythmic possibilities.

There are probably some even more flexible duration/tempo combos possible.

Just my $0.02.

Cheers,

Mike

with all due respect to the wonderful CT collective.

This makes a lot of sense...

And for those who are still into CD's, I could imagine that anybody could put together a personal "11/11/11 11:11:11" Sampler...;-)
And if we are lucky, it could end up in 11 chain tapes. To setup a Kunaki CD is free as far as I know, and I'd happily master all of them...;-)
