This is my hypothesis:

If we can organize a song's production between participants, we can assemble an album created by all of us.

It could begin simply as one of us laying down a drum beat, then saving it as a .wav file and either emailing or physically mailing a CD to the next person in line, perhaps a rhythm guitarist. That person identifies a structure in the drummer's beat, and lays down a rhythm track over the drum, saves the .wav file and on it goes to the next artist, perhaps bassist or whatever.

Interested?
I've done this before. I've done collaboration covers with people from YouTube (e.g. I played guitar/ piano, someone sung, someone played bass, and someone played drums.) We all recorded our bit of the song and then they sent them all to me and I put them together. It turned out really cool. If anyones here is interested in doing something I'd be up for it.
