Jamulus Jamming at Black Creek!
Jamulus Meet & Greet: Meet up, discussion, Q&A about live-time internet jamming
Friday, May 28 @ 5 – 7 pm on Zoom in The Grove Breakout Room
We set up a Jamulus Central Server for the festival. It is a private space for the festival with servers running in NYC and Montreal with several “rooms” available for playing. Each room can support 12 players. We wanted something similar to the Altamont Fairground with jam sessions scattered around different campsites.
Jamulus is a free application for playing together with other folks, live, at the same time, hearing everybody all at once, over the internet. Impossible!, you say? Well, give it a try and see for yourself!
Recorded in live time on a Jamulus session with 2 players in eastern NY and 1 in central Connecticut and 1 in Massachusetts
