#spreadthejam
07. Apr 2020
It’s a concept. It’s a movement. A group of Jammers takes a stand against Corona’s rise to power.
Spreading the jam is nothing new to Resonance. In a jam club it isn't unusual to witness a generous spreading of the jam, as if spread atop the baked-to-a-crisp participants and audience. Certainly, the best jam is the one you share with friends. But with the Coronavirus take-over it became somewhat of a concern whether one's jam might go bad due to reduced usage.
On 16.03.2020, however, an announcement came forth: It was our duty to fight for the freedom to jam! And thus we started organising and making ground online. Challenges, ideas and inspirations were presented on a weekly basis.

And with that we were able to open, share and consume freshly-made jars of jam. We shared audio and video over all channels and quite a few were able to learn a new way to jam. Our community presented itself as a group of resilient melodic gourmets, who had now toughened up for a second wave, for the next crisis or just for the ever-impeding dystopian future;
With the know-how of spreading the jam, even from their bunkers.
