Tags are great to find our music games. Waiting for you at wiki's sidebar.

The most used one is "classic" which marks activities created before the year 2000 -- 111 items.

The least frequent is "random" for when players don't make any "in-game" decisions. Many such pieces exist, but usually fall outside of the library scope. Only 2 titles qualified.

If you ever need an activity for a specific usage, please let us find you something. :)

#G4Mhubs #soundActivities

Another one of #G4Mhubs provides a selection of wiki items by their topic.

Like on each subsite, evolution is expected, but Create - Play - Learn might stay as the central trinity of areas to explore.

123 Events!

This is the amount of #music #playdates that we tracked in 4 years.

Not every #gamepiece-related #event fits to this #G4Mhubs. Notable exclusion are typical concerts, as we look for active playfulness, so at least #audienceParticipation is needed.

We know of 3 suitable regular meetings that greatly contribute to that "123" number. These are in Tokyo, Warsaw, and Glasgow. Please let us know about any #workshop, #jam, etc.!

[! +see pinned toot for a game #giveaway! Easy event!] :)

In the Sources section of the #book hub, there's one thing we're especially proud of: having #NatureStudyNotes fully digitized.

It is #CorneliusCardew's and #ScratchOrchestra's "no rights reserved" collection of #ImprovisationRites.

It was available since earlier as a scan with handwriting, and now thanks to the wiki and quite a few other good people it can be copy-pasted or read through screen readers.

#G4Mhubs is to present in parts what the wiki is about. Today is for:

Music Games Library -- the heart of our site, collects rulesets and materials for playing (our type of) music games.

There are two sections here:
* Free-form -- for looser activities that may require a facilitator to run.
* Well-defined -- closer to designed, finished tabletop games.

Authors were kind to let 68 titles in this collection so far, but with smaller ones included in texts, we have 200+ playable items on site.
