Dobox at silicon valley techno jam session #1

Here’s a 75 minute improvised jam session recording of 3 of Dobox’s artists: QORSER, The Rhythmist, and Steve Cooley, during the last hour and a half of “Silicon Valley Techno Jam Session #1″… all three artists came into the set without a preconceived preparation, so this is the rawest of the raw elements of what these three are made of. The tempo is a steady 142 bpm, so get ready for some bangin’ tech!!

We had a way bigger response than we expected, and it was pretty awesome, so thanks to everyone who came out to jam at Works! We had 9 people participating at the peak, and 6 people who walked in off first street to check it out and see the exhibit in the gallery. Thanks again!

If you liked this event or if you’d like to participate in something like it, definitely check out Share-SJ.

Here are the media files I have… if you have more, please post a comment.

I have no idea what I’ll be able to do while I take my baby pseudo-hiatus. Probably nothing, but clearly there are people out there doing some pretty amazing things. Carry on… I’ll try to catch up someday. :)

SHARE San Jose, 2nd meeting, Wednesday @ 7:30pm, Orchard Valley Coffee, Campbell

stevecooley | January 22, 2008 in events,news | View Comments

Tomorrow (Wednesday) night we’re going to have the second meeting of SHARE San Jose (see http://share-sj.org for more info). Unlike the first meeting (which was a jam/talk session) this one will be talk/show, at a coffee shop in Campbell. It will be fairly informal – there will be opportunity for people to introduce themselves, talk about how our next jam session will be organized (which will be at Anno Domini), and talk/show whatever people bring to talk/show about. Details:

Wednesday Jan 23, 7:30pm (coffee shop closes at 10pm)
Orchard Valley coffee shop
349 E. Campbell Ave.
Campbell, CA 95008

Feel free to being laptops to show/demo things. Headphones & splitters may come in handy.

…Tim…

Be there!
