Inside Out rehearsal #11

Victor's House, 4 - 23 - 12, 8:00 - 11:30 PM

**Victor, Rick, Chris (scribe), Brad, Dev, and Scott in attendance.

**we begin with circulation. after a few limp passes, Victor makes two notes on listening while circulating: 1) to hear 'in space'; 2) to hear 'direction in terms of intentionality'. these suggestions seem to open a door which leads to a longer and more satisfying circulation; this is followed by some observations from the group.

**approaching 6/7th's of Fugue no.1 from the WTK without a spoken count or click. before long, we are shedding at a maximum performance tempo of about 76 BPM. next comes the work of combining two performances into one: the Prelude into Fugue. Prelude requires some attention of its own during this process, specifically flow and timing; some of the earlier work with circulation resurfaces in regard to this.

**after a break, we take a few moments to address some structural points in Voices of Ancient Children.

**a few passes through Peaches en Regalia. much time is devoted to detail work, including dynamics and phrasing of voices for specific sections. another task is to articulate the bass voice's special role as "drummer" for the five-guitar arrangement.

**a play-through of Overworld 2, followed by the introduction of a special underscore to be used on specific occasions.
