auto-jam
you've been to the blues jam. you've been to the jazz jam. you've been to E-minor for 3 hours jam. you've even been to the free noize jam. what's left?
auto-jam is here to take you up.
auto-jam is the new rule for great jams. fun for the players. fun for the audience. here's how it goes:
- Choose any 3 of the following ingredients to create a three part composition.
- Everybody plays through ingredients 1-2-3
- Listen to each other
- Stop when you are done
the ingredients:
- Groove: Because it feels good. (No soloing!)
- Melody: Melody instruments only, no percussion
- Drone: Ambience, space, and minimalist repetition
- Drums + 1: Drummer chooses one other player for duet
- OHC: Avoid all melody, rhythm and pattern
- Pulse: With a single sound, all players begin with the unified pulse rhythm
- Echo: Repeat the sounds of another player
an example: Melody : Drone : Groove
