4-track cassette challenge
A challenge that requires fawmers to have a working 4-track portastudio which uses cassette tapes. Yes, some fawmers still work old school! The fawmers involved must exchange their mailing addresses. It’s important to work quickly when you receive a tape, because the postal services around the world may take some time to get it to the next participant. To begin with, fawmer #1 might record the drums, for example. They then send the cassette by snail mail to fawmer #2 who adds, say, bass and they then post the tape to participant #3, and so on. The final participant adds their part, converts the results to an mp3 file, and posts the results to the FAWM website listing their collaborators as collaborators so that everyone can add comments about how the song came about. And lo, there will be much rejoicing.
