Little Scale + Milkcrate

If not, you’re missing out something fierce.

From the illustrious Sebastian Tomczak comes Little Scale + Milkcrate.
These guys mod old game systems (Sega Master System, Genesis, Game Boy, etc.) into music making devices.
They have an ongoing project called Milkcrate:

Milkcrate is not a band or a particular group of people. Milkcrate adds a further set of constraints of space, time and materials to create music within.

The rules…

• The objective of milkcrate is to write, record and produce as much music as possible, creating a completely finished product within twenty- four hours of beginning the session
• No member of the group is to leave the environment, within reason
• All materials and raw sources used to create music must be explicitly non- musical
• All the materials must fit inside or on a milkcrate
• There is a limit of one milkcrate per person
• At least one member of the group must be productive at all times

These rules are modular in nature; milkcrate sessions may have additional constraints, so long as they do not break the existing ones.
