For those who didn’t notice, I embarked upon a challenge in January to produce a music jam each day. In other words, 31 pieces of new music in 31 days. They didn’t have to be long. They didn’t have to be complete. They didn’t even have to be good. That wasn’t the point. The point was to make time every day to make music.
Today is Tuesday, the thirty-first day of #jamuary2023. This is it. One final jam. It is … over.
There will be more about the overall Jamuary2023 experience and my take-aways later. But not too much later, so stay tuned….
Today is Monday, the 30th day of #jamuary2023. Today again features the 1010Music nanabox LemonDrop for an industro-ambient take on the pan flute. What would Zamfir think?

It’s the 28th day of #jamuary2023 and I’m back with my trusty Boss RC-3 looper and the Korg Wavestate for another day of jamming. Someone said I was cheating for using extremely long (song length) loops recently, so today’s jam features a fairly short loop…
I started out with the idea to do a simple, space-ambient piece using one patch in a single “real-time” pass using the Korg Wavestate. That’s not what actually happened. Such is the way of a jam, I suppose.
It’s the homestretch of #jamuary2023, and I’ve got another Korg Wavestate jam — just me, the Wavestate, and the Boss RC-3 looper.
Today’s jam continues with an exploration of the Korg Wavestate, and again uses a selection of factory presets. While I will eventually want to do more of my own sound design on the Wavestate, the sounds provided by Korg and available from third parties are excellent and are great starting points for jamming or performing.
When I got up this morning, I wasn’t sure what I was going to do for #jamuary2023 today. It’s the 24th day, by-the-way. As of last night, I hadn’t planned on using the Wavestate at all. But, lacking a plan leads to rash decisions. And so …
Since the weekend’s working environment was far less than ideal, I decided to go another round with Rounds today. I think this result is a little more pleasing.
It’s #jamuary2023 day 22, and it’s been another day away from the studio. That means another day of musical mayhem created in-the-box with Ableton Live and plug-ins from Native Instruments’ Komplete.
I’m away from my studio today, but that’s not stopping me from making music! Today’s jam is “in the box!”
The 20th day of #jamuary2023 marks my 60th trip around the sun, and again features the Korg opsix, Boss RC-3 looper, the Zoom G3n, and the Behringer Flow8 in a simple ambient jam.
On this nineteenth day of #jamuary2023, I get pretty trippy with the Korg opsix, the Boss rc-3, and effects from the Zoom g3n and Behringer Flow8 mixer/interface.
A busy day, so my #jamuary2023 day 18 jam’s a little later than usual. It’s another day of just me and the opsix and the keys of G.
