We're soundchecking as Victor walks in. Warm-up tonight: Third Relation and Askesis. Prehearsal bits: Blockhead with Rick, Brad and Dev on the main piece, and Chris, David and Victor on 'color'; Hommage a JSB from Brad and Chris; and the full team on Voices of Ancient Children.

Post-performance, we meet with aspiring Circler Scott and discuss what he has been working on over the past week, and how he has been assisted by the mid-week group. This is followed by some variegated circulation, + 2 - 1 and + 3 - 2, and Growing Circle while making faces.

Rehearsal items include Calliope, with a note being made about the rhythmic directionality of note groupings (i.e. a group of three has a different "shape" than a group of two because of the way the notes rise and fall into each other in a periodically defined space, or pocket), and much discussion of Intergalactic Boogie Express, with a few corrections and playthroughs.
