- Can a machine improvise?
Jojo Mayer's new solo project ME/MACHINE is an adventure where human performance and the archaic power of drums interact with cutting edge generative music technology in real-time.
It explores new possibilities, narratives and syntax of how humans could coexist with digital technology in a symbiotic way.
An improvisational duet, creating a closed loop interplay between the innovations of man and machine.

You and Square Pusher should team up for an album #JustSayin
NÚMERO UNO!
You're up there too my dude! You're friggin awesome!

Stoked to see you're a Jojo Mayer fan. Love you even more you freak!
24K subscribers for Jojo is insanely low. This dude has been killing it for decades. He should be at 1M plus. I think it's underappreciated because it's not understood.
Jojo. You should take some top 40 song in the states, some hip hop or pop song, and just go nuts with a cover of it. Probably get you at least a hundred thousand subs right away. More people need to see and hear you drum.
I love how JoJo always seems to be out on the edge of drumming feeling around just to see where it goes. Inspiring to watch as always.
Unreal combo of incredible technique, technology, and artistry. Jojo continues to push our craft into new territory. Well done, maestro!
Always one step forward! Genius.
One step forward how?
I’m assuming he’s talking about Mayer’s usage of triggers, midi, and electronics in his drumming. He’s triggering chord changes and sounds with the BopPad in front of his snare, and what seems to be a trigger on his kick drum. Every sound you hear is being played or triggered live, he’s not playing to a track.
@@NICKHAM16I agree it is progressive in a since but Akira Jimbo was triggering chords, chord changes, playing melodies all live in the 1990's he just needed more sophisticated hardware to store sound patches. 🤷🏿 I lived in Japan for many years and got to see Akira play a few times by himself but putting on a whole melodic and harmonic concert. The difference is Jojo is playing how he plays and expressing himself
Yes, it is quite cutting edge.
But not because of him triggering chord changes and sounds (that's been done before since the 80')...this is not what's happening here from what I understand.
He's improvising live with a generative AI algo. That AI engine is fed in real time with his drumming from which it generates a set of sounds, chords, etc. to which Jojo is reacting by adapting his playing, further feeding the AI engine with new data, further pushing the improvisation in another (or same) direction.
@@MichaelWashingtonAE I think how he set his cymbals so high is a clear nod to his predecessor Akira Jimbo.
Since many years that Jojo leads the drumming world. Thanks to share your music/drumming with us !!!
As a fusion keyboardist, I found this one of the more interesting drum videos I have watched in a long time.
We need a reunion with Screaming Headless Torsos.
As a bass player, there not an active musician who inspires my composition more than Jojo. Thank you for continuing to push the boundaries!
Always searching for new forms, like Miles Davis❤
Joined the “cymbals high in the sky” gang 🥵
@forrestrice
Change is alright, keeps things fresh. But yes, this does not work for me.
People always comment negatively about this and don’t consider how much more ergonomic it is for playing, especially when the cymbals are titled like this. Listen Mangini or Terrana talk about it.
what a load of BS. you named some of the most showy drummers for that argument? besides, what they mean is that its the most ergonomic way to play cymbals that are high up. not cymbals per se. this here is mainly show and any person that ever tried drums for a bit will understand why. @@RockyTop85
@@RockyTop85 actually I think it’s a good thing! It also helps in recording sessions, no cymbal bleed in toms’ mics and more presence in the overheads 😬
Reminds me of Cobham when he’d stick the mix through various FX like ring modulators and phasers to bring his solos to a new dimension
I don't know how this can happend but nobody plays like him, nobody has this feel. Amazing.
Это саунд из неизвестной планеты! Просто КОСМОС! Джоджо - инопланетянин, посланный на Землю покорять всех нас звуками других планет!!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
So glad to see u on fire again!!! One of ma favorites of all time!!!! Long live Music!!!
Best drummer of our time!!!
I would say most unique
EPIC!!!!!!!
I will always be in awe of Jojo's talent
Pretty awesome! Usually Jojo has his cymbals (btw, HHX Anthologies?) more down low and flat; this setup reminded me of Ndugu Chancler's with the three high cymbals. Also that looks like a Keith McMillen MIDI pad!
phenomenal Jojo !
WOw! Something unusual, as always from Jojo ! And I love IT !
How does it work this generative music technology in real-time?
Love how you continually push yourself and your boundaries. Thank you Jojo!
My life's flow changes 5 hours ago! Thanks for sharing. Maestro.
lovely, especially that last part. Thx for sharing
Always innovating! Love it!
My dude just backhanded a gong.
Have you never seen a drummer before? First day on the internet?🤦♂️🤡
I know right. What did that gong ever do to him!
It has been done before many times
@@spanqueluv9erlol guys, take a chill pill, easy with the over reactive, nerd rage, arrogant and rude comebacks… he obviously meant that last back punch of sorts on the gong (which you likely didn’t even wait to watch before commenting), which really isn’t very common lol, he clearly didnt mean that first back stroke with the mallet
@@monetarnie3841 he obviously meant that last back punch of sorts on the gong, which really isn’t very common lol, he clearly didnt mean that first back stroke with the mallet
❤ it!!! miss seeing you at Nublu nyc. Stay well jojo
One of a kind
Like a film score. Epic!!
Excellent as usual!
If there is one man to showcase the new Evans electronic module is this genius
good call. I thought that was a wave drum.
Is that what’s he’s using?
@@JustanEdrummer I really don't know, but Jojo is an Evans artist
your match grip is still on point......of course
Switching between matched and traditional. Impressive
SUPER!!! BRAVO JoJo!!!! 👏👏👏🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Amazing in the true sense of the word.
Bello/Magnifico.💯💯💯💯💯💯🌡️
Excelente pieza!!! Por favor, ven a México!! 🤘🏽
The Bob Ross of drum and bass
Consummate legend Jojo .. still blown away, after so many years of following your craft.
Solid! Nicely done!!Full Steam Ahead! Cheers!;-)!
Loving the new cymbal setup. More of this, please!
Love the sound!!
Very nice textures and rhythms. And some super nice stick hit & mutes, especially on a crash, that sounded very special.
A GREAT INNOVATOR ! he changed the game
I’m speechless on how amazing this was
Surprising direction for Jojo, something of a Jens Hannemann vibe! His approach to electronica is very cool, always inspiring to watch
❤
Wow! That snare sounds blummin beautiful! :)
Hmmm.... intriguing 😮! Is this out on Vinyl, C.D., etc. as Jojo's latest release?💡🥁🎶♥️🤙🏽🔥❗️
Love you man. Amazing. Keep playing man don’t stop.
He's 61 and still play drums absolutely amazing and perfect 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
That was so... incredible. So inventive, and forward thinking. thank you for posting
I love how it seems like you've always chosen not to be threatened by technology and just embrace the change to open new doors to your creativity.
It's really inspiring.
Also nice to see that coming from a gray haired man hahaha. Hourra for Jojo forever young Mayer!
Absolutely love it! Looking forward to listening to more of his exploration with technology.
Man, it was phenomenal to see such a great performance, but to also be able to see the hesitations, mistakes, and recoveries.
Sometimes I see people ripping chops and it just makes me want to stop playing, but this inspired me.
Same with Nate Smith and Simon Phillips. Always pushing themselves, playing on the edge, sometimes stepping over, recovering beautifully. Real human music. ❤
Amazon playing! Also great production and visuals too. Jojo‘s drumming never ceases to amaze me!
Please do another tour with this, it's pioneering
Incredible sounding kit and recording. Genius level playing, as we’ve all come to expect from Jojo.
THIS freakin' guy! 🔥Legend status, man ❤
This is Art !
Like a range of musical conversation. So sick!
Genius!!
Brother JoJo Is Killin' The Machine…

Jojo is like a good wine, it gets better with age!!!
The last push was in my face too! thx jojo amazing
最高、Jojoのドラム大好き
Grossartig! Externical Importation
su tecnica es perfecta 🤘
Man, that's super dope.
this is like the preset on edrums where the kick cycles though the notes of a bass phrase
So freaking awesome, I want more of this
this moved me, vielen dank
El mejor ! Lejos. Baterista contemporáneo zarpado.
Fckin cool🎉
Great vibe. Exquisite technique.
Durísimo!!!!!!🔥
1:47 - should I get back to the melody? Naaahhh, let's keep this groove going
Well.. BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD for how I'm going to film my own feature video because JOJO is 10 STEPS AHEAD of all of us, as always! #NOICE #Legend
Big Jojo Mayer!
JoJo yr a star
Total inspiration Jojo
Lovely work on this Jojo !
¡¡¡Grande, maestro!!!
Fxxxkin el that’s the most interesting 4 mins of drumming I e heard in ages ,,edgeing towards George Russel or some classic stuff with ypir eyes closed ....excellent
Amén Jojo !!! Simplemente hermoso
Amazing performance piece! Just wondering was the audio intentionally mixed and released in mono though or was this an error on the video production?
Good question. I love Jojo's drum sound, and the mono masks it a bit.
The groove master returns! Incredible stuff
awsome!
Nice to see some updates! keep going Maestro!
sakti bossque
this is so cool, jojo continues to innovate beyond drumming
Always such a wild man & never disappoints…
