A few days ago I came across this YouTube video from a girl named Mia. She’s a singer and has a small library of videos of her singing popular songs. She recently posted a video of her own song. Take a quick look…

Why is this important you ask? Well it’s not the song or her singing ability or anything of the sort. The important thing is what happened after her video made it to the most viewed list on YouTube. A drummer saw the video and decided to add a drum track to the song she wrote. He recorded himself playing along to the track, then cut the two videos together and reposted it on YouTube.

If that isn’t enough for you. Yet another user added a bass line. However he used a still of him rather than making a video. Nonetheless this is now an odd collaborative effort.

Three musicians that do not know each other recorded a song together. This is one of the most interesting uses of YouTube I’ve ever seen. I hope to see a keyboard player or another guitar added in the coming days. The Postal Service recorded and album via the mail, sending cd-r’s back and forth. Why not YouTube? Audio quality aside, it could be an interesting way to make music.
