As an experimental and collaborative music collective, risk-taking has always been at the heart of the Kolabacats' vision. In this spirit, as part of the 4th edition of the Network Music Festival (NMF), we invited composers around the world to join us in our most ambitious experiment yet: creating the longest relay composition chain in the world!
The main composition was initiated by the Kolabacats during the NMF: each member worked for 60 minutes in turn and live streamed their composition process on YouTube (

Then, everyone willing to take part was added to a global list of composers. These participants will carry on the work initiated by the collective and produce their very own variation of the composition featured during the festival.
We hope to create the biggest, longest composition chain in the world, uniting people of all nationalities, genders, beliefs and backgrounds around one common value: music.
How far can we go? Let's find out together!
