Wanna hear an example of just what Indaba makes possible? Check out the song "Hold On", either on my Profile page or through the following link:

This particular piece started out as a "jam" Session, with the basic tracks (drums, bass and various synthesizer parts) laid down by minime, an Indaba member who lives in Germany. Next, Lorf (from Italy) added some amazingly tasteful guitar parts. Then, Aledelu (also Italian) contributed a truly haunting female vocal.

Here's where I entered the picture. With minime's permission, I threw together some lyrics, sang them, added a couple string parts and a few percussion enhancements, mixed and mastered this International musical smorgasbord and...*poof*...we had a song...totally coordinated over the Internet and comprised of contributions from two continents, three countries and four musicians who have never met one another, except in the "virtual" world of Indaba.

I've been using PCs since 1984 and this stuff still amazes me!! Who'd'a thunk it, wayyyyy back then?

Anyway, enjoy the song...then contemplate just how you can use the tools Indaba makes available to you. Chances are you'll have fun and "meet" some really nice people. I did.
