Concept
JAM is an interactive music application which generates unique and personal musical responses on audio input and thus offers an inspiring environment for improvisation and intuitive musical experiments. More information about the application can be found on the website www.jazzperiments.com.
In this 'interactive solo' workshop for singers the JAM application will be set to use live sampling and pattern matching. In this configuration the input and output are closely related, but sound at the same time familiar and strange ... like 'willful echoes' according to a recent user/singer.
Hearing voices is a set of 4 small musical motives which all participants will include in their experiments. Apart from that, everybody is free to improvise, include other themes, add lyrics, etc. etc.
Objective
The objective of the workshop is a better understanding of musical interactivity using a state of the art software toolkit and ... the creation of some nice, personal 'songs'.
Preparation
Applicants for the workshop will receive the score of Hearing voices, a planning and more background information in advance.
Follow up
Anyone who wants to use the application after the workshop, can download it for free and run it on a pc or Mac (not on iPad or Android). For further experiments during LAbO #5 participants can get support from the 'helpdesk'.
