June 25th meeting plugged in

Attendees: David, Victor, Glenn, MB
We were plugged in tonight to a “homemade mixer” -- as described by Victor. Started with some circulating. Then, got started on Invention No. 1. Some struggles but finally we got the first page. Then, work on Askesis, Third Relation, Eye of the Needle. Some discussion on getting the rhythms to sync up. Progress made but still a ways to go. In all cases we need to work on making the quality of each note even (so no notes pop out as different than the others in volume or tone). Of course the spacing of notes needs to be even too.
Other songs worked on for our upcoming July 7th performance: Thrak, Growing Circle, Moving Force, the Bartok piece, Bicycling to Afganistan, Asturius,
We ended with another round of Eye of the Needle and some more Invention No. 1. To continue our work on Invention No 1 for the 7th, we four decided to meet at David’s place on Thursday, July 6th from 9:30 to 10:30 AM. The big news of the night...it was David's 40th Birthday day! We really need to get the Happy Birthday song in our repertoire for such occasions.
