Online Early Music Forum (OEMF)
music since the pandemic with Jamulus
============================
Why?
Many of us know that making music over the internet does not work well with meeting systems like
Zoom,
Teams,
Skype, etc (because of something called
latency). During the pandemic, people sang with the sound turned off (effectively solo) or sang along with a track from
YouTube or
Spotify.
But there is a way to make real harmony online. Since just before lockdown, we have been singing with Jamulus, which minimizes latency and enables us to sing together in very nearly the usual way. We'd love you to join us.
Who, when and where?
All singers of early music are welcome. Sight reading is important; we are not preparing music for performance. We can also put instrumentalists in touch with groups of viols, cornetts, etc.
We meet twice a week, on Monday and Friday, from 6 pm to 8 pm, each in the comfort of our own home.
We run Jamulus software on our computers or other devices, connected to OEMF.
Starting Jamulus
Once Jamulus is running, choose 'Connect' and find OEMF in the server list under Genre: Classical / Folk.
