hey peeps...

My friends are organizing this laptop jam the last wednesday of each month in Melbourne. Next one is on Wed October 25th (next week)

It's basically free improv on laptops... byo laptop, controller and open mind... you just gotta take a number, find some space on the table, and input into the mixer.

I went to the first one last month. I started with with an empty live-set and just went with what was happening...programming as i went... had a blast...
most of the people there were using live.

It's a great place to meet laptop musos from awesome local bands/acts....

Yeah that's a great bar, I did a recording there a couple of weeks ago for some of the red bull guys. Great vibe and the guys who run the place are awesome.

We have two feature artists this month; Amanaksa (aka Simon Lewis) is confirmed to open #3 featuring one of his lush world beat sets. Naturally he’ll be hanging about for some jamming later on. Isnod (aka Damian Stephens) is also going to roll up for and play the second feature slot. Laptop madness guaranteed!
