Ubisoft looking for Jam Sessions musicians

Ubisoft's quirky Jam Sessions is less a game and more an interactive toy in a vein similar to that of Nintendo's own Electroplankton, turning the Nintendo DS into a kind of minimalist guitar for virtual strumming. While its appeal may be decidedly niche, Ubisoft has now set about looking for people who are both skilled at creating music with the stylus as well as unafraid to torture entertain the general public with their voices for fun and prizes.

Between now and October 23, touch screen virtuosos can upload their Jam Sessions videos, which must include both lyrics and vocals, to Ubisoft's special Jam Sessions contest page on YouTube where they will be judged by the internet masses. Winners will be announced on November 6, with two people representing the winning entry making the trip to New York City to perform live on MTV lookalike, Fuse TV. Ubisoft urges musicians to keep this last bit in mind, as they "don't want to be responsible for your band breaking up," though imagining a musical act throwing down over an argument over who gets to go on national television to play Jam Sessions live on camera is hilarious and certainly something we'd pay to see.
