Real-Time Music Jamming via the Web

As I was driving back home with my car, after a long day at the office, I drifted off into a visualizing a creative idea I had never thought of.

What I was suddenly picturing in my mind was a technological option, that not only allowed me to stay connected to the net from my little car stuck in the peak hour Rome traffic jam, but to be able to use that connection to creatively collaborate to other people.

How?

As some of you may know, I have a long past as a DJ, radio personality and even as a buddying amateur percussionist. So when I am in my car, I can’t avoid tuning in to music stations and contribute my own solitary vocal overdubs and drumming solos, as I am literally stuck into traffic jams that move at a snail pace.

But for me, the real joy is when you can share and join with others to ride the pleasure of creating music together.

So, I said to myself, wouldn’t it be great if I could hook up myself to the Internet, find some other buddying and available music jammers and dive into a live jamming or remixing session with a few others from the world around?

As I later found out my desire was not unique.

The desire to collaborate and creatively participate in the creation of live music was already on the drafting board of a few geeky music enthusiasts, which just released their first real-time online jamming technology software to the public.

Here are the details.
