      <title>auto-jam is here</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/amplab/posts/text/349257</link>
      <description><![CDATA[you've been to the blues jam. you've been to the jazz jam. you've been to E-minor for 3 hours jam. you've even been to the free noize jam. what's left?

auto-jam is here to take you up.

auto-jam is the new rule for great jams. fun for the players. fun for the audience. here's how it goes:

    * Choose any 3 of the following ingredients to create a three part composition.
    * Everybody plays through ingredients 1-2-3
    * Listen to each other
    * Stop when you are done

the ingredients:

    * Groove: Because it feels good. (No soloing!)
    * Melody: Melody instruments only, no percussion
    * Drone: Ambience, space, and minimalist repetition
    * Drums + 1: Drummer chooses one other player for duet
    * OHC: Avoid all melody, rhythm and pattern
    * Pulse: With a single sound, all players begin with the unified pulse rhythm
    * Echo: Repeat the sounds of another player
