The Jam-Cam Experiment

Live Performance

The Live performance for the Jam-Cam Experiment took place on Friday 20th January 2012, at the University of Wales, Newport. It involved live remixing of The Jam-Cam Experiment samples, taken from the many different Jam-Cams which took place over the previous months.

The live remixing was performed by myself, Nat Higgins and the talented Marcus Williams.

The live performance included a interactive section in which the audience were invited on stage to play with the midi keyboards which were being used to trigger samples and effect samples.

Although the live remix was perform primarily by 2 people in fact the piece involved 20+ people, who had taken part in live Skype, Jam-Cam’s and also audience members who came on the stage and took part.

There was also an audio-visual element to the performance which involved a video compiled of clips from many different Jam-Cam’s & interviews carried out with Jam-Camers in which signs were held up to their webcam describing their Jam-Cam Experience. This video helped to explain to audience members who may have been unaware, of exactly where these sounds they were hearing had originated from. It also helped to show the globalisation of this project.

Below is the audio-visual video used during the live performance with the audio from the live performance & a HD video taken during the live performance.
