Jamuary #2023

Atlas Castle
Written By Atlas Castle

31 days. 31 jams. This year’s Jamuary was really something. The whole community really brought it on many levels. It’s been inspiring to see every one keeping the jams coming on a daily basis. Huge creative boost to kickstart the new year.

The third week was the most difficult to me. The inspiration wasn’t really optimal and I got bored by my samples and hardware selection. But I'm happy I did it. It's been a lot of fun to create, experiment, push myself, learn much more about the Dreadbox Typhon and share daily routines with everyone over here.⁠ JAMuary is definitely a nice way to break the ice, get to know new genuine souls and connect with the rest of the community on many levels. ⁠
⁠
IG has been one of my favorite hangout and place to share my daily jams since 2019. This year I shared them as reels as well over my YouTube Channel (I never tried the reels format on YT before. It was a nice opportunity to give it a go).
⁠
For this year's JAMuary, I followed @hardware_jams & @petitevictorycollective's prompt! You should definitely stay in touch with two of my favorite communities of jammers and electronic music producers.⁠⁠

Atlas Castle

Atlas Castle ~ is the solo project of a french native musician, composer and electronic music producer. Today based in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Long sleepless nights and a certain vision of aesthetics brought this project to life with the idea to create a musical base throughout which Atlas Castle could play whatever he would feel like, without any boundaries. Mixing energy, melodies and samples to forge his own recognisable style. Through his music, Atlas is sharing different feelings with only one philosophy: making music that is all together artistically, technically, and emotionally engaged in hopes of establishing connections with all interested people.
