Project Details

"'Digital Dixieland' is a multiplayer jam session designed to allow creative people with different levels of musical expertise to play together in a high-quality musical/graphical environment." 
 
"It features a jukebox full of funky tunes, a Control Booth where aspiring DJs can create a real-time remix, a Graphic Generator for manipulating the visual ambiance, and a Trigger Tree (MIDI embedded "tree log") for multimedia soloing. Up to six people can play together at any given time." 
 
"It is a location-based example of what an online musical/social experience might look and sound like in the near future."
