Imagine your favorite musicians from throughout all of human history (paging Kurt Cobain and Layne Staley!) getting together in the same room. Together, they are free-flowing and improving melodies on top of chord progressions with beautiful and surprising results.

At the conclusion of the Project Passage experience, I was convinced that linked data and libraries have a bright future together.
