Jamoma is an open-source project for the development of audio/video applications, plugins and Max/MSP-like environments. It offers many C++ frameworks for structured programming and is based on modular principles that allow the reuse of functionalities where all parameters remain customizable to specific needs.

Jamoma is in development for more than five years and is used for teaching and research within science and the arts. It has provided a performance framework for composition, audio/visual performances, theater and installation gallery settings. It has been also used for scientific research in the fields of psychoacoustics, music perception and cognition, machine learning, human computer interaction and medical research (more info here ).

Development is currently supported by BEK – Bergen Center for Electronic Arts, 74 Objects, Electrotap, GMEA – Centre National de Creation Musicale d’Albi-Tarn and University of Oslo.
