MIDI Jam

June 23, 2007
Ottawa

This MIDI jam electric picnic occurred in the SAW Courtyard and was hosted by artist and VJ Hri Neil from Toronto. This laid back event helped Hri to workshop his concept for a collective music and rhythm improvisation held together by MIDI connectivity. This concept was later executed in a larger form at the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art (MoCCA) in Toronto (Summer 2007) as part of the In The Mix VJ festival. Many local artists came out and a wide variety of electronic instruments where used, from PureData patches to old school analogue synths, to create a sunny afternoon of beats and pieces and even hot dogs.
