CYBERJAMMERPHOTOS
The Cyberjammer project is a tool constructed for collaborative simultaneous music improvisation, and structured for multi-location online music improvisations, to facilitate new experimentation in the practice.
Participation in online musical improvisations instantly transforms the solitary player into a member of a spontaneous musical ensemble. The social aspects of a telepresent music improvisation are compelling: telemusicians must engage socially otherwise there will be "no there there". While it is true that telemusicians tend not to meet in person the lack of familiarity may be a way to preserve the elements of unknown conditions which fuel experimental practice. Still, it is apparent that there is a desire among participants of telepresent music sessions to become more acquainted.
