I know a few folks here have talked about doing a MIDI jam by sending
sequence files around the net. Well, here's a posting from USENET for
just such a NETjam. If you have USENET access and want to get down,
send this guy some mail...

NetJam provides a means for people to collaborate on musical
compositions, by sending Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI)
and other files to each other, mucking about with them, and resending them.
All those with MIDI-compatible (and other interesting) equipment, access
to emailing and compression facilities and to the Internet (send mail as below
for details), and who are interested in making music (who isn't?) are
encouraged to participate.
The process is made simpler by the fact that it is largely automated.
Submissions are translated between varying formats and resent automatically.
If there is interest, the NetJam group may branch out to the
support {soft/hard}ware other than sequencers. For example, there are a bunch
of interesting sound synthesis programs out there, like CSound for the NeXT.
Submissions, participant info, and other stuff is archived on
scam.Berkeley.EDU (128.32.138.1), where it is available via anonymous ftp.
To receive the document from which this blurb is extracted (and which explains
NetJam at length) send mail to netjam-request@scam, with a subject line
containing "request for info".
Anyway, here it is. I look forward to hearing from you!

I've been collaborating with a friend in L.A. for a couple of years,
since I was seven.
We both use the same (old) version of Performer. He sends me a
cassette with music on the left channel and FSK on the right, and a
diskette with the Performer file on it, and I can either choose to play
his parts using my SGU's or I can slave the MAC to FSK and listen to
his timbres. Then I add new parts to Performer, make another cassette
with his + my timbres on one channel, FSK on the other, and send the
diskette and cassette back to him.
Unfortunately he's got a dx7, a tx7, and a Juno 106, just bought a
Proteus/1. I still have the Emax and Kurzweil 1000PXA. Makes finding
appropriate timbres kind of weird. Making his mixdowns not sound like
what *I* intended..
