We had press conference #2 yesterday on Mountaintop Campus! Thank you to all who attended, asked questions, and engaged with our project. We're excited to work on new features that make Jam a unique and simple interface, while also using your feedback to direct our efforts! Stay tuned for more updates leading up to our big website release on July 24th!

Music Artificial Intelligence Algorithms, Inc., or MAIA for short, is currently working on project Jamrooms. The two founders, Tom Collins and Christian Coulon, teamed up with four students from Lehigh and Ashoka University to accomplish the dream of creating the simplest music creation software in the world. Infused with artificial intelligence, live collaborative features, and a layout bridging both music consumer and music creator, Jam is sure to transform the way users interact with music.

The idea behind Jam is to create an online space where 2-4 users per session experiment remotely yet collaboratively to create loop-based music. Like multiple people editing a Google Doc simultaneously, but in sound!

We already released a two-week prototype exclusively for Mountaintop critique, but our final release date is scheduled for July 24th! Stay tuned for more updates as our countdown to release continues!
