Jam: if you would like to get involved in the jam, just bring your laptop or electronic instrument along and plug in, ideally MIDI sync would be good, so if you have a MIDI interface or a sound card with MIDI ins, bring it along too.

Focus will be on the live looping technique and the context of technology and setup limitations as a boost for overall musician creativity.
