**TL;DR: Songchain: a collaborative music experiment•• Songchain is a community-driven music project where artists from around the world build songs together layer by layer. Instead of one producer creating a full track, each participant contributes one creative element only, for example bass, drums, vocals, synths, or effects. Songs start from a short vocal seed (around 45 seconds), and the community votes every ~24 hours on which artist adds the next layer. The core idea is creative restraint. Each artist adds a single layer and must leave space for the artists who follow. Silence and simplicity are treated as part of the music. This challenges the typical solo-producer mindset and turns the process into something closer to a distributed band where each participant brings their strongest skill. To keep the workflow clean, all stems must be exported from the same start point (“absolute zero”) with no mastering effects applied. This ensures all layers sync perfectly when combined. After five artists contribute, the track is closed, professionally mastered in analog, and pressed to vinyl as the final physical artifact of the collaboration. The project is intentionally cross-genre and unpredictable. Nobody knows if a song will become techno, rock, ambient, jazz, or something entirely new. That uncertainty is part of the creative experiment. Songchain also exists as a response to the growing flood of AI-generated music. The project emphasizes real people, real instruments, real gear, and real creative risk. The goal is to build a network of human artists collaborating globally rather than algorithmically optimized music products. Beyond the song-building process, the Songchain Club on Orb serves as a hub for discussion, mentorship, and collaboration. Artists can ask production questions, share ideas, and develop side projects such as remixes or alternative versions. Experienced mentors from the music industry help guide participants through both creative and technical challenges. The project has already generated strong organic interest inside the Orb ecosystem. Artists from multiple continents are asking to participate, and new collaborations are emerging outside the main chain as well. At its core, Songchain is not just about producing tracks. It is about proving that collaboration builds stronger creative communities than individual production or passive consumption. The process matters as much as the final result. Key principles songs are built sequentially by multiple artists each participant adds one creative layer only community voting decides who contributes next stems must start from absolute zero with no mastering artists must leave creative space for others the fifth contributor closes the track final songs are mastered and pressed to vinyl real human creativity only - no AI-generated music Songchain is intentionally experimental, evolving, and a bit chaotic. The community helps shape what it becomes. https://x.com/i/spaces/1OxwblLdDgVJB?s=20
