"Virtual jams from across the internet"

I found this site randomly while trying to find something else. I was impressed with the concept of Jamlab.us They encourage Live or Virtual Jamming. Your free to Download any of the Sessions and add to them. They seem to prefer intermediate to advanced musicians so I wouldn't expect much of a response unless you have some chops. I've listened to some of the Jams and I'm surprised at how varied and colorful they are. I've heard Influences all the way from Tangerine Dream to the "Grateful Dead". Here is a except from the site:


What is a cyberjam, virtualjam, or virtual track?

"Anyone can download our music and record new parts. You can plan or improvise your new parts. You can add as many new parts as you like. Some folks add new guitar and keyboard parts. We hope you will share your contribution with us. If we like the new version, we will post it on our site."

The Site design is Simplistic but that is ok because they seem to really be about Making music with no strings attached .

According to the site all material can be used on a nonprofit basis so all you Sample Junkies can slice and dice away with your favorite sampler.

If you think you have the skillz these guys might be fun to Jam with :)
