Desert club challenge
Story time! Here’s a story to inspire your jam this weekend.
Under the scorching sun you wait. The desert landscape around you is unfamiliar and beautiful. You look at your watch - the taxi should be here already. You count the cracks in the concrete to pass the time, the asphalt shimmering in the heat. The taxi finally arrives, rushing towards you, then stopping abruptly right in front of you. As you crash down in the back seat, the driver greets you with an exclamation that could be harsh or enthusiastic, you never learned to distinguish the tones of this foreign language. ”To the city,” you ask as clearly as you can. The taxi jumps to speed and the driver switches to broken English, barely making sense. The conversation runs around in circles, skirting the language barrier. ”You want party?” he keeps asking. You’re intrigued by the idea, and wary at the same time. As the taxi approaches the outskirts of the city, you finally say: ”yes, take me to the party.”
The taxi screeches to a halt when you reach your destination. This is not what you expected. It’s not a club, it’s barely a building. Among the derelict concrete buildings there’s a small entrance, clearly leading to a bunker underground. There’s a bouncer standing at the door. This guy is huge. Without a smile, he opens the door to a steep, worn out stairwell leading down, down, down. You already hear the bass thumping as you cautiously start your descent.
You were not prepared for what you find downstairs in the club.
TL;DR version: desert, foreign country, underground club. Let’s go!
Make a jam inspired by this story.
Big respect to all the HWJ FAM

HWJ weekend,
Per aspera ad astra - through difficulties to the stars. Your challenge this weekend is to make a jam using this old motto of encouragement. There are several ways of doing this. You might make a jam slowly building from chaos into something structured and uplifting. Or you can challenge yourself to tackle something really difficult musically and be prepared to struggle through the weekend for a stellar jam. Or make a jam focusing on encouraging and uplifting themes - what kind of jam would you make to encourage someone going through a difficult time in life?

WEEKEND CHALLENGE: HEAVY METAL
We recently witnessed the sad end of an era with the passing of Ozzy and Blck Sabbath's final show. What does "Metal" mean to you? It doesn't have to be the musical genre - but it could be! What about using the sounds of metal instruments such as cymbals, flutes, horns etc in interesting and creative ways? Acid corrodes metal so what does that sound like? Oxidisation? Rust? How about the sound of metal grinding on metal... or metal tines struck? Cross-mod your oscillators for those lovely clangourous tones. Get dirty with oscillator sync for some aggressive metal leads. All just suggestions - have some fun with Metal!
Made with stuff, and just a jam......

Fought on the flanks of Sgurr na Ciste Duibhe, the battle was a resounding defeat for the Jacobites, but the Spanish contingent battled bravely. A subsidiary peak of Sgurr na Ciste Duibhe was named Sgurr nan Spainteach – ‘Peak of the Spaniards’ – in their honour, a permanent testament to the last time an invader was fought at close range on British soil.

Today is Friday the Thirteenth. Unlucky for some? Also the name of an extremely successful slasher / horror movie from 1980. This weekend’s challenge is to make a jam that would fit into a film of this type in that era. Scary? Shocking? Tense? Nervous? Making us jump? Shocking? Mysterious? Don’t forget, the film in question was made in 1980 so bonus kudos for any 80s sounds you can squeeze in! Time to make us hide behind a sofa that is adorned with geometric patterns and bold colours!

Greetings jammers!
After the very popular drone challenge we thought we would keep with restrictions and pull an old favourite out of the hat. I usually shout “two box jams!” At the admin crew every week. This week however, instead of limiting by the number of boxes, you have to choose only three elements from the following list to use in your jam.
Drums
Bassline. *
Pads. *
Samples
Lead. *
Which three parts will you pick for your Tri-jamulated tertiary Triangular jams?

Saturday, May 24th is International Drone Day. For this weekend’s challenge we take a dive into drones - not the flying kinds, but musical drones, sustained notes or sounds. The challenge is to make a jam with some droning elements. You can go full experimental and make a minimalist jam with just drones. Or you can take a melodic approach and think of melodies contrasting movement and static elements (maybe research pedal points in music theory?). Or you could look at folk music for inspiration: bagpipes are a good example of a melodic instrument with drones.
Drone day is an international celebration with people making drones all over the world.

While the plant-et of the ewoks was in a state of calm, A black hole quietly moved through space, slowly approaching the little rock they called the moon of endor. The planet was swept away into the void but our understanding of black holes was wildly wrong.
As the ewoks passed through the event horizon, they noticed a hypnotic, rhythmic sound emanating and slightly reverberating around through the woods. The sun they gained warmth and light from had disappeared and all that lit their path was strobed shadows through the trees, coming from the light that traveled along side the moon.
While in a lost scientific platform, this new discovery known as an earwormhole had given birth to a technical number, shortened to
"Tech. No. 303" by the imperial scientist remnants left after the battle of endor.
This week, we ask you to break out your inner kicklords and make some thumping techno with a slight twist, make it organic, like the trees waving while hurtling through the seldom witnessed space phenomenon

Following their mighty victory over the Humans and their disregard for peace last week, the Revenge of the Plants seemed complete. Indeed, they went on to conquer a large portion of the whole galaxy. Dense and impenetrable jungles and forests were growing everywhere and the Plants were devouring everything they came across. But little did they know that hidden away in the undergrowth of a little forest-covered planet, deep under their successful propagation, some surviving bipeds were beavering away on a revenge story of their own…
Small, furry teddybear-like cute and cuddly creatures called Ewoks had gathered their homemade synthesisers and started to jam a mystical tune which slowly caused the dense foliage of the plants to recede and die away, allowing them to live freely and happily once more. Little did they know however, that there were other bipeds watching them from a vast space ship far above, with dark and sinister motives in mind… The Ewoks were also blissfully unaware of the forces of good who were locked in battle with these agents of the dark side.
Your challenge this week is to imagine you are one of those Ewoks and jam for your life and the life of the planet! Or, for the darker-minded amongst you, jam the music you might hear on your break whilst working in the Death Star. If you are feeling truly heroic, you could make a jam inspired by a rather famous x-wing fighter flight.

You’re a scientist who has made a horrible discovery. From the deepest jungles of South America you have discovered plantlife with disturbing mutations that cause the plants to grow aggressively, even attacking people. What’s even stranger is your botanist colleagues bring similar reports from all over the world. The same thing is happening in the forests of Canada, the swamps of Louisiana, moors of Scotland… everywhere plants are changing into killers. You discover that the microplastics that have contaminated nature have somehow fused themself with the genetic code of the plants causing wild and unpredictable mutations. If your calculations are correct, the whole human civilization is in risk of being run over.
You rush to meet the president and military advisers. But they ignore your warnings. They only mock your ideas. Meanwhile there are terrifying news reports from all over the world. In Rio de Janeiro a whole neighbourhood is taken over by vines, covering everynthing. In Japan the scent of cherry blossoms has become toxic, causing hundreds of thousands of people to be hospitalized. In New York, Central Park has started to swallow visitors and officials are advising people to avoid going there. You return to your laboratory to find a solution before it’s too late. There must be a way to reconcile Nature and Humankind.
Your challenge is to make a jam inspired by this story. Your studio is your laboratory. And the survival of mankind depends on your success. Will you be able to make peace between the forces of nature and humankind? Maybe if you use some organic elements or nature sounds in your jam to make peace. Will your jam be convincing enough to turn the heads of the callous politicians? Maybe epic cinematic sounds and melodies will convince them?

The Devonian is a geologic period and system of the Paleozoic era during the Phanerozoic eon, spanning 60.3 million years from the end of the preceding Silurian period at 419.62 million years ago (Ma), to the beginning of the succeeding Carboniferous period at 358.86 Ma. It is the fourth period of both the Paleozoic and the Phanerozoic.[11] It is named after Devon, South West England, where rocks from this period were first studied.
