This is what online multimedia technology is all about

I found an inspiring web page that combines video, music, mixing, collaboration and personal creativity all in one beautiful place. This one page is a testament to what you can do with technology when you use your imagination and in my mind is only the tip of the iceberg.

"In Bb 2.0" is a collaborative music and spoken word project conceived by Darren Solomon from Science for Girls, and developed with contributions from users. The videos can be played simultaneously or you can start them up at any time in a slow, staggered sequence. Do whatever you want - the soundtracks will work together and the volume of each piece can be adjusted with the individual sliders. If you want an element (that has ended) back in your live creation, just hit replay.

You may want to set some time aside to play with this..... it's very easy to get caught up in the fun and play for a long time. The music is very Brian Eno-ish.

Tip: If all of the video boxes aren't visible on your screen at once and you use Firefox as your browser, just hit 'Ctrl' and '-' to shrink things down to fit.
