Project Details
- "Inspired by the community spirit of drumming and new technology, the Jamodrum Interactive Music System encourages collaborative experiences with music and real-time computer graphics."
- "The system combines velocity-sensitive input devices and computer graphics imagery into an integrated tabletop surface, where up to three players can participate in a synergetic approach to musical improvisation. Each participant strikes a MIDI pad that controls sounds and visual imagery to create group compositions."
- "By taking advantage of the players' intuitive abilities and social interaction skills, the Jamodrum embraces both musically trained and untrained participants."
