"An evolution of an old software called «Digital Jam», GameLan is a software made for networked improvisation based on Gamelan music. Upon launching the application, it searches for any users currently improvising and automatically joins them. It can also be used individually, but only if there aren't any other improvisers on the same network! Each user controls the sequencing of several Gamelan instruments and a soloist located in the middle circle. This software can also be used to control the Robotic Gamelan. The above video captures an early stage of development."
