Jamuary 2023

Day 2 - up and at it early today. Set myself a few ‘restrictions’ this jamuary - I want to upload a jam a day, but challenging myself to use a different bpm each time, spend no more than 20 mins prepping the loop and recording 1 take (well 1 each for instagram and YT at different lengths).

Also going to use the ‘prompts’ from the #Hardware_jams challenge. Today was using the notes from one chord… I think this was supposed to be a restriction, but 3 notes is more than enough for my simple mind!!

Well, here is my Day 2.

And this came out way better. Subharmonicom, DFAM, Mother32 and Matriarch.

Those Moog Maschines make the perfect/playable ‘jamuary’ type set up I think. Makes me wish I still had the SubH and the DFAM (must stop selling things!!)

I grabbed 10minutes in between playing snap with my 7y daughter and giving my 3y son marks out of 10 for his ninja warrior antics on the couch.
DFAM TR8s ‘TAKT and LXR02 … don’t get too close, you might loose an eye, or a face :boom::loud_sound:

Oh man this is a strong one!

Also, I’m in! I’m just going to post snippets on insta and leave the full songs for my weekly bandcamp posts. Here’s yesterday:

Happy to have my sister in town for the holiday - we’ve wanted to create music together for a long time. We limited ourselves to 1:30 and spent less than a couple of hours. Enjoy!

Jamuary 02/23 - SAWN IN TWO - Syntakt-only jam

What even is a jam? Here’s me forcing myself to take a couple of Syntakt patterns and turn them into a song-like thing. I’m hoping that my shitty knob twiddling makes this jammy enough for Jamuary.

A cheesy one for day 2:

Edit: made a YouTube channel for these. Video here.

Thanks. I really like the central idea of it, but I’m still at the toddler-in-high-chair stage of Elektron skills. I’ll probably reuse it in the future!

Well do more the same please. I’m all on board for an uplifting jam with some funk to it.

Or however you describe it.

My first jam with my modular ( waiting for other Modules I bought)

Funny thing, I did “jamuary” through december, not on purpose.

Here’s what I came up with today - an electronic interpretation of “time’s the revelator”

A little out of the Jamuary spirit to be doing a cover, but it’s what I wanted … and I made a video! :open_mouth: :slight_smile:

bandcamp link as well
