Why are we all on Indaba? I'm assuming it's not to impress friends. Maybe it is to just say that you are a fan of music? Maybe for some of you it is. If you do qualify for that, then stop reading. Is it just for the heck of it? So you bought that microphone and recording software so you can have fun? That's not a bad thing, but stop reading if that is you. This group is just for those who want to be a professional, or for professionals trying to help the other members at Indaba climb their way up the ladder. If you play any instrument or sing, you are welcome here. This is just an...

KMFDM to Hadouken! U.N.K.L.E. anyone? Basically, this is for those who love techno, synths, and acid basslines as much as live guitars, vocals, brass, drums.

Open Acapella is a musical experiment that could only happen on the internet. Singers coming together and contributing their voices, ideas and concept to just creating cool vocals. Starting with a simple melody, skilled singers add on until it becomes a full out acapella piece that will be featured on OpenAcapella.com with full credit being served. I, Douglas Paul, will start sessions, administrate them, remove tracks that don't fit, out of tune, off key and etc. In other words, I'm the choir director and the world is the choir. So let's get started and make some beautiful music to...

Painful Serpent Productions stands for REAL hip-hop, we do it for the love of music, not for the money...of course its great to get a financial reward for the work we've done. Anyways, the love for hiphop goes first.Our opinion is that like 95% of the mainstream artists that start getting alot of money turn commercial, and try to seek for more sources of income, even if their music becomes fake and commercial...we think it's a damn shame that ALOT of artists who used to be great, fell off, just to name a few: 50 Cent, Eminem, Kanye West, Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, Fat Joe and the list goes on. It's...

Indaba is a wonderful worldwide community, but our intention in creating the community was never to replace what it's like to be in the same place as other musicians. To that end, I thought I'd start a group (woohoo - new functionality!) so we could all start a discussion and, who knows, maybe have the biggest jam session in NYC!

This group is for all the odd times / complex signature fans. "Signatures which do not fit into the usual duple or triple categories are known as complex, asymmetric, or irregular, although these are broad terms, and usually a more specific description is appropriate. Most often these can be recognised by the upper number being 5, 7, or another, larger, prime number. The earliest examples of irregular signatures are found in instrumental music by Giovanni Valentini (1582–1649) and Anton Reicha (1770–1836), written in 5/4, 9/8, etc. Although these more complex meters were common in non-We...

The idea behind this group is to gather musicians to form the '' mind orchestra'' to help me complete my album and to work on new material which will be released by my studio under a new label. I am looking for a diverse group of proficient/serious musicians to work with, and we will form as tight a sound and vibe as is possible over the internet. Here we can meet and gather the musical hordes to launch an all-out assault on the music business. The main musical style for the ''mind orchestra'' will be ambient/tribal/world/psychedelic however many other styles and forms also.
