C arrives at the loft at 8:00, where V, B and G are already set up and sharing experiences of large fruit.
Before beginning, C offers feedback he received regarding the GCNE's Bean & Leaf performance two weeks prior. This leads to a lengthy discussion of the different perceptible stages of education and having one's own understanding of the work. Apropos to B's discovery of an ideal performance space, there is also talk of the group's vision for an upcoming performance project with points being brought up and addressed from last week. Some concerns include how to facilitate adequate rehearsal time on a weekly schedule, as well as the challenge of remaining creative in a continuous moment. D arrives during this talk, which lasts over an hour.
Guitar work for the evening focuses on B's new arrangement of a Debussy prelude. Initially, there is some confusion regarding timing, but as this is redressed the work of learning the notes proceeds smoothly. Several sections are given repetition as they are learned, and eventually the group is running through bar one to bar nineteen. Unlike most other pieces in the group's repertoire, this portion of this piece is played fingerstyle; some pointers are given to the inexperienced.
After 45 minutes of work, D excuses himself from the circle, and work continues for about fifteen more mimutes. The meeting concludes with a long silence at 10:20.
