Until recently, the software had primarily served the niche purpose of connecting university music groups on different continents. Avoiding compression reduces latency, because having to decompress a file eats up time, while also ensuring high-fidelity, accurate sound. The audio data flowing from musician A’s computer to musician B’s is uncompressed, meaning it is not converted into a form that takes up less bandwidth. JackTrip technically provides what is known as low-latency, bidirectional, uncompressed audio streaming. “The name just stuck, kind of like a band name,” said Chafe. ![]() That triple was eventually shortened to “trip” and tacked on to “Jack,” giving the program its quirky moniker. At one point, the researchers experimented by connecting musicians at three different locations, or over a “triple” connection. He and his colleagues began developing JackTrip in 2000, when they realized that the still-fledgling internet was getting fast enough to support sending audio data, potentially empowering musicians to play together remotely.Ĭhafe and colleagues built JackTrip on an available, open-source, sound server software called Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK). “With JackTrip,” Chafe added, “it’s been great getting to jam again in real-time, just as if we were right in the same room.” A program whose time has comeĪfter originally graduating from Stanford with a doctorate in music in 1983, Chafe joined the faculty in 1989. Among other instruments, Chafe plays an electric cello. “It was apparent from March 2020 onward that there was an urgent need to connect musicians who were locked down and unable to play together in the way we love to play together,” said Chafe, professor of music in the School of Humanities and Sciences and director of the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA). Having gotten below that threshold on standard, home-to-home internet connections, JackTrip is now reconnecting a growing number of professional musicians, as well as music teachers with their students. While tiny, that smidgen of time is perceivable by human listeners and is enough to throw a coordinated musical performance out of sync. In this way, JackTrip can often reduce latency – the annoying time delay in data transfer – from one geographical location to another to under a critical threshold of 25 milliseconds. Developed by Stanford University music professor Chris Chafe and colleagues, JackTrip enables virtually real-time sound streaming over the internet. Into this breach has stepped a free, open-source software called JackTrip. ![]() Currently, Adama resides in Asheville, NC, where he frequently performs and teaches authentic rhythms from Ivory Coast, Mali, and Guinea, West Africa.ĭoors open at 7:00pm, show starts at 7:30pm.Screengrab of a JackTrip-powered music performance. Since then he has played in major cities all over the United States. to perform and teach the sacred art of West African drumming. “Djembeso” in the West African dialect Bambara means “the house of djembe.” Adama chose that name because his family has been playing the djembe for 33 generations and his native home was known as the house where the djembe is played. In 2002, in collaboration with Siriki Sanogo, Adama founded Djembeso CI Drum and Dance Ensemble. Adama has played in several drum and dance companies such as Yelembad’abidjan, Ensemble Koteba, Congoba, and many more. Born into a family of musicians, he has toured several continents with various major acts such as Oumou Sangare, Salif Keita, Affou Keita, Sogona Djata, and many others. He will jam out the night along with a few friends to give us a taste of African groove.Īdama Dembele is a master djembefola (djembe player) from the Ivory Coast, West Africa. ![]() Join us for an evening of African music with LEAF’s Master Teaching Artist Adama Dembele.
