Abstract

The motivation, design, implementation and analysis of a networked environment for real-time music collaboration are presented. JamSpace provides a simple hardware and software interface that allows novices to play music together anonymously from isolated locations connected by a local network. The low-latency conditions of a local network allow for real-time rhythmic collaboration. This in turn facilitates satisfaction of the design requirements of accessibility to novices as well as privacy and anonymity.
