They're back (Analogue Drums), more or less.

Anyway, here's another few:

A jam of two halves - both heavy! The first half hangs together really well. The second is more a collection of good tries.

These next two may not be to anyone else's taste :)...
An abstract - if not entirely random - jam with perreko. I like it...
A second abstract jam with perreko also on drums (real kit) with some contribution from strat_universe. I really like the ending.

All on ns_kit7/ndk Rock Kit.

Sorry, it's another fairly abstract piece.

The kit here is Native Instruments' Abbey Road Late 60s drum kit.  Most of the other contribution is from "_m1k" with a little bit of "radar" right at the end.

Thanks! :)

Most people get scared off by the unstructured stuff -- you really do have to be in the right mood to get into a jam like that.  Luckily I was: _m1k had been playing like that for about 45 minutes ... without having his uplink to the jam enabled!  When he sorted that out, everyone else left... :(  Turned out well in the end, though, as this - to me - is much more creative than what went on in that "lost" (for _m1k) 45 minutes.

Here's another one of those times when the atmosphere works.  Nothing particularly original, though, just great fun taking part.

There is new exploit that will affect CentOS 64bit servers. We have patched our shared severs for this. If your Dedicated server is running CentOS 64bit OS then please open a support ticket with your login information and we will apply the patch for this on your server.

(Well, let's not run CentOS then...)

In the meantime, here's a new jam in a bit of a different style from my usual.

As I'm holiday at the moment, I've been getting more time to jam, which is nice.  Here's a couple from today.  (Oh, just into yesterday..!)

Nice piano.
This one took a while to die off at the end...

Here's a summary of the second, final week of my holiday:

I recommend listening to this one on speakers/headphones with good low end reproduction - otherwise you'll miss a lot of the bass guitar and kick.

This was fun, though keeping the guitarist playing to the click was... challenging.

I had a hard time deciding on whether to give you this one or another from the same day.  This is messier but longer...  (Oh go on, have both.)

All in all, a lot of fun.  Now I'm back at work, of course!  And it's snowing.  Oh well...

If you get to gig or jam live ("for real" :)), then you can probably live without NINJAM.  But I don't have transport or luggable gear, so it's really the only way I get to play music with anyone else!  A real lifeline.

Anyway, I wouldn't post if I didn't have more jams, now, would I?  ::)

A nice bit of jazzy blues... or bluesy jazz...

And here's the second one.  Bass and keys were working from music score... which was marked "Bossa" at the top.  Hmm... so I let the bass lead me!  We took a while to pull it together - this is the third time of starting over - but it went pretty well in the end... and breaks into some boogie toward the end, too! :)  Sadly, that was just when I had to leave.
Bossa boogies...

Let's get down to something a little heavier...

I have to say [this] is possibly the best jam I've played in -- just magic.  Only the two of us, so it's fairly simple stuff.  But it rocks.

Remember to check out the RSS feed if you want to get all these as I post them.

Ooh, didn't realise it had been so long since I posted a jam!

Here we go (stream).  Trying to hold a steady beat... not too badly...

Oh... and really, do listen to this one.  The voice!
jeje sings (stream)

And as it's always fun to have a sillier one...
Loud and heavy (stream)

And finally, to end with something smooth and mellow:
A slower number (stream)

This one (stream) I like because of the way the piece carries the feel of everyone taking part playing together, rather than - in fact - being scattered around the globe, playing to what was played seconds earlier!

Oh, and I've now got a fancy Facebook page with the RSS feed on.

And now for something from SoundCloud: http://snd.sc/mQkhXv

I host on SoundCloud when the AutoJam mix or ninbot edit facilities aren't really enough to do a jam justice.  This needed some subtle tweaking to the levels and deserved the fade in and out.  Performers are maddin on acoustic guitar with live multi-track capture and loop; his girlfriend on vocals (multi-part!); Doc and titi on electric guitars and me on TrapKAT/naturaldrumkit samples.

Might as well plug my latest bit of web programming, too: http://llcon.drealm.info/peter/llcon (yes, it looks simple... /sigh/)
