The bITjAM is a response to a real need in the creative community for a space in which to explore digital arts, creative ideas, collaborations and soundscapes.
Carl Plant and Ben McManus are the main animators of the bitjam, playing, organising, publicising, delivering workshops and digitally animating spaces. They are aware that the main aim of biTjAM is about collaborating and sharing ideas, communication through sound and value of experimentation.
Since its inception, biTjAM have been involved in collaborations with visual artists from all over the midlands. Musicians and sound artists from Stoke to Stockholm have travelled to be a part of the experience and have intern continued some of these creative collaborations.

Something new
We’re planning to try something relatively new for the October bITjAM. We have in the past loosely arranged each performance around a tempo and an agreed ‘feel’ for the piece.
This time we plan to share this info as well as a few samples well before the event. We have also arranged for visual artists to integrate their live work with the sound, also there is the ability for the audio artists to react to the visuals in a feedback loop type of way.
We will get the score/arrangement and the samples online in the next few days and will confirm the visual artists too.
Bye for now
Carl
