Bury Baroque

We are seeking local string players (Suffolk mainly but also Cambs, Essex and Norfolk) interested in getting involved with a new project, Bury Baroque. The flyer gives further details of the day and how to apply. The event is free but booking in advance is essential. We are very happy to encourage players with playing experience who have not yet explored the world of historically informed performance, so if you have local string friends who are interested, please encourage them to get in touch.

Flyer for Saturday 14^th October

To our friends in EEMF and all other lovers of early music:

Online Early Music Forum (OEMF)

Music in lockdown with Jamulus

Most of us know that making music over the internet is not possible with systems
like Zoom, (because of something called latency). People have been singing their
parts solo, then mixing them into video performances.

Well, now we can make real harmony online. We have been testing
Jamulus, which minimizes latency and enables us to sing or play
together in very nearly the usual way. We’d love you to join us

Install Jamulus and run it.

Press ‘Connect’; then press ‘List’ and choose Genre Classical/Folk/Choir

Choose OEMF from the list and Connect.

There is a ‘Chat’ feature in case you are not being heard or
don’t want to interrupt.

Meet on Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 6 pm.

Jamulus has excellent documentation, helpful discussion fora and a
download page. Start here. Setting it up can be straightforward or a
struggle, depending on what technology you have. The community
is extremely helpful for those who need it. The software has versions for
Windows, Mac and Linux and a brand new Jamulus OS.

Music can be fun again!

An endorsement from Rick Fitzsimmons of SWEMF:
There's a group of us have been playing sackbuts and cornetts ...,
numbers varying between 4 and 7 so far, using a Google
cloud hosted server and clients Mac, Windows, Linux and
Jamulus OS. It's definitely worth the effort!
