Artist Type: Project
Description
A project consists of:
A single musician who is the sole engine, creative process behind the project.
- may tour, with session musicians
- pulls off of the same musicians, but still retains creative license. (if the musicians left, they could not perform the songs.)
- Examples :wumpscut:, Celldweller, Nine Inch Nails
A single release of multiple musicians that usually will not be retained after the project is released.
- consists of musicians that do not usually work together, have groups or projects of their own and for the moment are combining to put together a number of songs as a single release, sometimes more. (though usually that would signify a collaboration - not to be utilized for a single song given feat.)
- Examples Roger Glover and Guests, Argyle Park, AP2, Aina
Or is a mixture of both: it has one or more creative forces behind it, who stay consistent over several releases, but changing performers.
- Examples Ayreon, (Tobias Sammet's) Avantasia (which is actually similar to Aina)
