In attendance: Victor, Rick, Chris (scribe), Brad, David
Downstairs tonight. A little extra time is needed to clean up and ready the space for a performance, and to get adjusted to a dry sound. We prehearse Calliope slowly for Rick to test out the lead, and also touch on Intergalactic Boogie Express, before people arrive.
The set comes out as follows:
circulation I/improv I
Eye of the Needle
improv II
Derailed at the Junction
Askesis
circulation II
Calliope
Where's the Nurse
improv III
Thrak
Third Relation
circulation III
Bicycling to Afghanistan
Hommage a JSB
improv IV
Austurias
Afterward during rehearsal, we play a game where the role of time keeper moves around the circle during an improvisation. Victor notes that, in general, the time keepers tend to slow down when also taking on an active listening role; we also talk about being aware of time feel.
There is also a little talk about some struggles that were going on during the evening's performance, one of which was dealing with poor sound - or what seems to be poor sound. Another was being 'free' during the performance.
