What is a RjDj sprint?

RjDj sprints bring together musicians and artists interested in working on reactive, algorithmic music (”Scenes”) for mobile devices and do other mad things with sound. Currently supported devices are the iPhone and in an yet unreleased version the iPod Touch.

The goal is to create, test and enjoy many new scenes for the RjDj application. We know that many musisicans don’t have iPhones, so we will provide some devices for development during the sprint. Prior sprints happened in Bizau, Barcelona and Vienna.
