G4M explores the intersection of #improvisedMusic and #tabletopGames.
We have a library where authors may put their #printandplay #musicGames, a catalogue of items published elsewhere, and a #wiki to track all the developing theory and history of the field.
Topics of interest include #experimentalMusic, #boardGames, #ttrpgs, #musicEducation, #creativeCommons, and more.
The wiki webpage is at:
http://musicgames.wikidot.com
but if you look for any info about game pieces, feel free to @ us here in the Fediverse.We restart our activity on a new instance. Boosts will help us reach our previous contacts (thank you).

Extending a look at some reusable solutions in #musicGames.
This one is extremely rule-light, and usually to find within #experimentalMusic. Examples include #Signs and #Images by #PeterBrotzmann, or #Etudes by #SharonGal.
There is even a relatively famous adopted child of this category: #ObliqueStrategies, a card deck which was not designed or intended for live musical #performance, but many times have been used like that.

Can YOU aid a ragtag group of knowledge-seekers on their quest to learn about...
1993's Contemporary Improvised Music Festival in Hague that had at least a day under the banner of "GAMES"?

History time! :)
#JohnZorn's #Cobra is an important piece in the history of #musicGames (called "#gamePieces" in #experimentalMusic).
Inspired by a #hexGrid #wargame, it's a complex mix of musical mechanics Zorn explored since the early 70s.
Alas, it didn't spawn a flurry of further experimentation. The Golden Age is still ahead of us... ;)
