Jamuary 2022

Full playlist of all my 2022 Jamuary streams

I’ve been posting a Jamuary jam session every day of 2022 so far and I don’t plan on stopping until the month is up (and even then, I may see how long I can keep the trend alive). It’s been fun.

I like challenges like this that force me to be creative and evolve things day after day. There’s a definite story arc to my performances so far. I can see myself getting better throughout the month as I go through the process. Part of it is the consistency of practice.

Part of it is the evolution of my setup. About mid-month I decided to move away from mixing everything in the rack, took the plunge and invested in an Allen & Heath Xone:96. A DJ Mixer totally fits my performative approach to music, and since this one has two audio interfaces in it, I’m pairing it with my Akai Force to basically record the full mixdown and stems for every performance directly to the Force’s Arranger mode. Once I have this fully set up and tested, I’m planning on putting together a video walkthrough and post about how I’ve configured everything.
