Experimental Electronica : The JAMS Project
What Is The JAMS Project?
The Jams Project is
comprised of a set of specially colored Mini-CD singles. While the Mini Audio
CDs are physically smaller than a regular sized CD (the singles are about 3
inches in diameter), they'll play in any CD-ROM reader, player or device that can play
CDs, as they fit perfectly inside the inner CD tray.
Each mini CD single is one of five different colors, to correspond with a
flavor: red, blue, orange, purple, and black (corresponding to strawberry,
blueberry, orange, grape, and blackberry, respectively) and are packaged in
matching tinted mini
jewel cases, except for the blackberry single (which is packed in a clear mini
jewel case).
The Jams Project CD singles will share the same four tracks, with each flavor
containing an EXCLUSIVE 5th track not found on any of the other CDs.
All CD singles are $3.00 (US), with a $1.00 shipping charge. Each CD is
individually numbered. Please contact
me for shipping rates outside of the USA or Canada.
Flavored Jams Available:
Strawberry Flavored Jams
1. Boom!-- 8 stereo tracks of percussion samples, loops, break beats and drum
solos stacked upon one another to make a chunky wall of thumping drumbeats.
Running time: 3:03
2. Chilled Bells-- Vibraphone, chimes, xylophone riffs all flow together in a soothing and beautiful harmony, overlaid upon a bouncy beat bed. Running time: 4:28
3. Feverish Club Dub-- Starts off with a literal bang, and doesn't let up until the very end. Typical dance/club work... with a frenzied twist. Running time: 3:42
4.
Here We Go (Virtual Mix)-- This was the first track I'd ever created on my own.
If you have the bass turned up, you'll really feel the drum line. Running time:
2:30
EXCLUSIVE: 5. Press Start-- The baseline and synth work are very heavily
inspired by classic arcade and 8-bit games. I also incorporate samples from NES
and arcade games of yore. If you close your eyes and listen, it's almost like
you're controlling a tiny pixellated hero... and loving every minute of it.
Running time: 1:58

EXCLUSIVE: 5. Tambourine Jam-- Sometimes the best instruments are the
most low tech. I banged and shook almost every tamborine and shaker instrument I
could get my hands on to make a lively, almost folk-ish percussion piece.
Running time: 2:29

instantly remind you of the cocky cat with a feather in his hat, knowing where
his ladies is at. Running Time: 2:29

EXCLUSIVE: 5. Rock On-- This was my first crack at using a
"virtual" turntable program, to see if I could do some serious
scratching with a mouse and steady hand. I think you'll agree that the beats and
audio work I did are rather impressive, even with the laid-back funkiness of the
track as a whole. Running time: 1:58
