I don't come from an acoustical music background but in computar
graphics production there are certainly some parallels.

Common vision is certainly important if you want to be in a band but I
don't think that a successful collaboration has to have that much
commitment.

It would be interesting to me to alternatively work in a group who do
not share the same vision but do have the same goal of collaborating on
a sound based project. And then round robin collab on each others
vision.

I suppose but what I am hearing is a want for egalitarian structures
for production.

"Affirming, promoting, or characterized by belief in equal political,
economic, social, and civil rights for all people."

I have a hard time not associating somebody getting screwed when it
comes to government and politics.
