Chaos Jazz

[AlanB]

When I got Jamstix 2, my eyes lit up when I saw the words "Jam Session (Brushes).

I've been developing a technique I call "Chaos Theory" where I play up to half a dozen instruments live, using midi channel switching and an echo technique to keep the parts playing. As it's all played by me live, it can be chaotic, but the theory is that some good music will come out of it....

So, here's a recent performance played live with no overdubs, with the marvellous Jamstix 2 on brushes.

Please be patient...it takes a little while to get going...

Hope you like it!

Much better than I was expecting! Especially after the pad sound came in at around 2:10 -- very nice! If I new exactly how you did it in real time without overdubs, I'd probably steal your technique. Anyway, please keep up the good work!
