Final #G4Mshow highlight on the occasion that #G4Mis5! :)

+++ Links to 🎶 🎲

Apart from games available in the library and texts about history or theory, we'd like to at least link to every musical game in (online) existence.

http://musicgames.wikidot.com/hub:link/tag/-_non-game

Thanks to tips from BGG or socials, etc., the list now shows 100 musical RPGs/board games/resources.

Some of the authors have a Mastodon account, even!
If you made or know about any other game with sound performance, please tell! :)

Entries included in #NatureStudyNotes are called #improvisationRites. Behind #CorneliusCardew (ensemble's initiator) the author of the most scores in the collection is...

++ Alan Brett

...who after contacting very generously opted to put a text on his Scratch Orchestra memories onto our #wiki. We were the first place where this information was published, so it provided us us both links and street-cred. Thx!

Our #wiki just turned 5. Thanks to all who let us use their works!
#G4Mshow tag will group some notable entries.

++ Nature Study Notes

#ScratchOrchestra was an #experimental ensemble. Their #NatureStudyNotes is a collection playful #textScores.

At the #wiki we transcribed this hand-written source with the help of Twitter co-users, including @celesteh who led way to earlier partial transcripts and advertised Mastodon on the way. ;)

++ Musical Brouhaha

#BrunoFaidutti is a famous #boardGameDesigner, probably most known for #Citadels and #Mascarade, and recently with musical titles of #TrollFest and #Maracas.

+++ SyndaKit

#ElliottSharp is a guitarist and composer who participated in the original #JohnZorn's #Cobra recording.

E♯'s piece (awesome pseudo btw ;) ) was a very early addition, and is still one of the hardest (with necessary sight-reading).

Let's showcase some STATS from the #wiki. It the "wow! but..." form.

The hype is real! but there's very little of it...

➡️ We have:
* 62 registered users! but most are inactive;
* more than 200 activities typed in! but many of them are too simple to be in the library;
* 70+ are in the library! but most of them are not fully open (not on #creativeCommons)
* almost 100 glossary entries are all #CC! but many are short stubs,
* articles are longer! but ~30 of them...

#G4Mis5 #selfPromo #selfDeprec

At G4M you may read and write about:

#avantGardeMusic
#boardgames
#experimentalMusic
#folkMusic
#freeImprov
#gameStudies
#impro (as #musicalTheatre)
#jazz
#musicEducation
#musicology
#participatoryArt
#TTRPGs

During our 5 years, some types of activities and contexts developed more than others. Hopefully the info will be enriched evenly in the years to come.

We welcome all input (texts, media, links...) from the intersection of #analogGames and #musicPerformance. :)

#G4Mis5 #selfPromo #wiki

Five years of existence may seem long, but honestly, our wiki is even more of a long shot.

Apart from access to 🎶 🎲 , important aims are:
1) Let new people hear about this exciting area of creativity.
2) Provide some connectivity for those into the topic.

...and we need that, because...

Q: How to get to the philharmonic?
A: Playtest! Playtest! Playtest!
