This week, we spent a few minutes hanging out with the Director of Jam Space, Lauren Bobyock ’17.<\/em><\/p>\n

What is Jam Space?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jam Space is a shed next to Goodyear. It\u2019s literally a shed: paint chipped and used. It\u2019s basically a place for students to collaborate on music projects. I don\u2019t want to say it\u2019s for [student] bands, because you don\u2019t have to have a band. It\u2019s just a place to jam out with friends that could turn into a band or just a place to work on music projects. But, it can be as casual or formal as you would like.<\/span><\/p>\n

How are you involved in Jam Space?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I recently got involved in running Jam Space, but previously I was involved as a member and participated by jamming with some friends occasionally. And, that turned into a one time show that we put together, and I just decided to get more involved in the planning [of Jam Space], making it more established and open to other students on campus. <\/span><\/p>\n

How did you get involved in Jam Space?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I came to Dickinson [Fall 2013], there was such a void for contemporary music. There\u2019s definitely a need for classical music, but I felt like we were lacking with contemporary music. So, I found out from my first year advisor that Jam Space was kind of in the works, and it was in my second semester freshman year when I heard more about it. There were people from WDCV who were involved that were able to give me the details. It was almost established when I joined, but it didn\u2019t really stay consistently run. <\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s going on in Jam Space right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not much, and definitely not enough. It\u2019s a really cool space, and there\u2019s a mishmash of instruments, but right now I just trying to get more students access. There\u2019s a drum kit and an amplifier, but that\u2019s kind of the extent of it. Students can feel free to bring their own equipment and just use the space to jam. The space is all soundproof and it\u2019s the perfect size, and it\u2019s such a cool space. It\u2019s literally in a shed and from the outside you would never know it\u2019s a Dickinson place.<\/span><\/p>\n
