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.

Truth: A Vision of the ‘Real’
by Matt. Robinson
I have seen it,
Felt it; uplifting as air.
Levitating out of body,
Out of mind with grace.
I have fallen from the heavens,
Weary, unconscious, alone,
Defined my path with destiny,
Entwined within my soul.
Strike out now,
And make a stand.
Stake your claims,
For I must journey on my own.
Fate has decided,
This ‘will’,
You must believe,
For I have seen it too,
It is ‘truth’,
Believe me now.
