	NetJam provides a means for people to collaborate on musical
compositions, by sending Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI)
and other files to each other, mucking about with them, and resending them. 
All those with MIDI-compatible (and other interesting) equipment, access 
to emailing and compression facilities and to the Internet (send mail as below
for details), and who are interested in making music (who isn't?) are 
encouraged to participate.

	The process is made simpler by the fact that it is largely automated.
Submissions are translated between varying formats and resent automatically.

	If there is interest, the NetJam group may branch out to the
support {soft/hard}ware other than sequencers. For example, there are a bunch 
of interesting sound synthesis programs out there, like CSound for the NeXT.


	Submissions, participant info, and other stuff is archived on
scam.Berkeley.EDU (128.32.138.1), where it is available via anonymous ftp. 
To receive the document from which this blurb is extracted (and which explains
NetJam at length) send mail to netjam-request@scam, with a subject line 
containing "request for info".

	Anyway, here it is. I look forward to hearing from you!


	Craig Latta
	musician and moderator
