STEIM’s Frank Baldé presented the Wii Jam Session at Discovery08. This instrument was developed as a prototype for a children’s workshop with 2008 Artistic Advisor Tina Blaine at the Swazoom Children’s Art Center in the Bijlmer later in October.

After a very successful <3 STEIM series and a very difficult loss during last June, we are back with our regular concert series in the alley ways of Amsterdam. We are happy to return with three groups that explore the edges of improvisational electro-acoustic music.
Please check out the audio samples and hope to see you all there!
