Mn’JAM Experiment performing in the US

Mn’JAM experiment is a collective led by M (the singer) and JAM (electronics/visual artist). This multi-medium performance places visual arts and music at the same level in an environment where performers’ interactivity goes way beyond the usual instruments and music and reaches out to the visual and digital world.

If you zoom in on the music, you’ll find a mix between empirical and rationally constructed elements; between acoustic, electric and electronic instruments; urban rhythms and traditional melodies, vocal loops and guitar solos, turntables and acoustic drums.

Concentrating on the visuals, they are analogously a product of pre-composed material and live manipulation mostly carried out by the guy behind the turntables. He is able to instantaneously control the images using the turntables and a series of pads and buttons thus not only syncing the visuals with the music in real time but also being able to improvise and “comp” visually on the spot.

The combination and correlation between sound and image make this performance a clear-cut synesthetic experience.
