Turbulence Commission: Quartet With Pyramid Scheme by Jordan Topiel Paul, Eric Laska, Richard Kamerman, Reed Evan Rosenberg:

Quartet With Pyramid Scheme is a streaming online sound installation whose audio content is collected through a sixteen-week pyramid scheme structure.

So if anyone on this list, residing in Australia or New Zealand, would like to participate in the project, you can find info here.
