Just spend a few minutes and imagine a piece of music or a sound, let that music just develop in your mind, don’t try to force it this way or that just let it drift along in your awareness. You may at times drift away from the sounds however just gently and respectfully bring your mind back to the music.
After a short while take a few notes describing what you have just heard, how loud was it, how fast was it, was the music gentle, heavy, relaxing or assertive. Try to get as much detail as you can including how you felt while listening, what it reminded you of, what instruments could you hear.
What we’d like you to do is share this description with the bitjam and sit back while this music is recreated filtered through the beauty of language, serendipity and chance.
This is your music, let us generate your music.
We have regular events each month at The Rigger Newcastle under Lyme as well as regular events lined up in Stoke On Trent.
We aim to provide free gigs and music at these events.
We are also involved in many corporate events generating the music and visuals you want.
Each set is improvised depending on the occasion, in some smaller gigs the minimal set up makes use of ableton, reaktor and reason on the laptop, however in the long playing sets there's much more hardware involved and live sequencing going on.
The bITjAM incorporates freeform visuals as well as electronic music and welcomes open minded artists, poets, medias, promoters who will give their time freely for the non-profit events.
