(idm) Sample-free remixing

Is anybody besides me here interested in this possibility?

Think: a CD of "Remixes" made entirely without the use of samplers.
People on it would be either
a) trying to emulate the sounds of another track with their synths
b) using the same melodies with similar sounds, or
c) taking the same structure, from beat to lead line, and using
completely different sounds (like taking someone else's MIDI file and
changing the pathc numbers, essentially)

Like "Endlessnessism" and similar projects, we could start off with one
track from somebody who's willing to be number one (I volunteer!) and
then ship DATs/audio files around until we had 74 minutes' worth of
sample-free boom.

So- whad'ya think?
