TRAMJAM - ROTTERDAM RUSHHOUR is initiated by Mumbai Streaming Attack, a
networked performance study group currently based at SNM/HGKZ
(http://www.snm-hgkz.ch/) in Zurich. The group first performed
TRAMJAM-ZURICH RUSHHOUR for broadcast at reboot.fm, berlin in February 
2004
and TRAMJAM-Vienna Rishhour for the Free Bitflows conference in Vienna 
in
June 2004. The group aims to continue its tramjam rushhour performance 
in
major European cities where centralized tramlines still exist.

For the Rotterdam tramjam performance, Mumbai Streaming Attack invites 
local
Rotterdam media students and sound artists for a joint
multi-track-multi-driver tramjam session that follows the routing and
rushhour tram schedule of Rotterdam's 9 tramlines. Each sound artist can
choose a tramline and design sound materials that characterize that
particular tram routing. The sound materials can be collected or 
composed
sound, pre-recorded for collective replay. TRAMJAM-Rotterdam Rushhour
further explore mobile interface of the Rotterdam tramvibe by inviting 
on
site/on tram live sound upload through mobile devices. The performance 
set
for a public space will also invite public participation via 
mobilephones on
trams or microphones on site.

TRAMJAM is programmed with PD (pure data), an open source software, a
multi-platform realtime performance processor. For our open call 
performance
in Rotterdam, we will hold PD workshops for installing tramjam PD
programming for each participant.
