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.

    This coming BiTjAM we have been approached by the arts company I work for (B arts) if we could use the Dec’s BiTjAM as a testing ground to try out some toy related instruments and even toys in order to create some soundscapes that will be used in a show at the end of Dec.

    I (Big urn) have said yeah. I hope this is ok. What It means for us is that if we have any toys that look great, make noise, circuit bent toys, things that flash etc can we bring them down and have a massive jam using them?

    At the mo there isn’t any solo performances form anyone form out of town so it will be just the usual crew. I understand that we will probably need some sort of beat related generation, so someone should bring a lappy.

    I am hopping that we will get some funding to pay for some advertising, leaflets and mebs even some toys etc.

    We will then have a big celebration (mebs Star wars themed as discussed with Lee) in the Jan or Feb one when everyone is in needing of cheering up.
