All musicians, musical styles, instruments and voices are welcome at our open jams! Together, we immerse ourselves in the magic of the moment and let ourselves be carried away by the music and the structure that emerges.

So, usually, we don’t play existing songs or standards, but instead draw on the spontaneous inspiration of all the musicians and singers in the room.

Our jams are primarily intended as a free space for singers and musicians who fancy playing and creating together.

Little or no experience? No worries! The jams are led by our resident music coordinator, Reindert, and his trusty saxophone. He’ll give anyone who needs it a helping hand. Before you know it, you’ll be part of the group.

Practical

Registration beforehand isn’t necessary, but is very much appreciated!! These open jam sessions are independent of one another.

WISPER provides a PA system, a drum kit, two stage pianos, various percussion instruments and vocal microphones. Guitarists who bring their own amplifiers are very much appreciated! If necessary, we can connect you to the mixing desk.

If there are a lot of musicians present, we may have to introduce a rotation system on the night.
Still unsure or have any questions? Send an email to reindert@wisper.be

Level of experience

Level X: this course is for anyone who fancies a jam session, whether you’ve got experience or not. You’re also welcome to come along just to soak up the atmosphere or simply listen!
