Jam Experiment Dance Interact
Aiming to provide a more interactive and participatory alternative to status quo electronic music delivery, the Jam Experiment Dance Interact (J.E.D.I.) team has been designing and building new musical interfaces since July 2004. The project was motivated by a desire to communicate the joys of jamming to a wider public as well as an interest in the potential of new technology, electronic music and new forms of collaboration.
The musical interfaces communicate via the Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) protocol to a central software music system called LEMu (Live Electronic Music). The program interprets the participant's controls using a combination of pre-prepared patterns as well as a variety of generative and transformational algorithms to create a stream of MIDI output that is rendered into audio using a synthesiser.
