Musician and composer Marc Jenny has been working on the Yes Don't Panic web app since 2015. \"In 2022, the concept was fundamentally revised as part of a JazzChur transformation project and has been accessible to everyone since 2025,\" the press release states. With the help of the app, musicians can create musical progressions together in real time by dynamically changing the musical direction: among the participants, but also towards the audience. Jenny describes this hierarchy-free, democratic interaction as an innovative \"conducting concept\".<\/p>\n

Access is simple. Participants can start their improvisation project without having to install anything. The app is suitable for concerts, rehearsals, jam sessions, performances or workshops outside of music. Musical background is irrelevant, says Jenny. Useful prerequisites, however, are courage, a willingness to experiment, tolerance of mistakes, collaborative creativity and attentive listening - \"to avoid panic.\"<\/p>\n
