Meeting
Sunday July 9th VMac's Roslindale
Attendees: Alex, David, Glenn, Martin & Victor
Alex was seated in the back yard when I arrived, awaiting Master Bridges falling asleep, Glenn and David arrived shortly thereafter. MB was away. We retreated to the studio and plugged in using circulation and 3rd Relations to sound check.
We started with the Bartok Hommage and ran in twice. I had a brain glitch in the middle and there was discussion that the leads should retard a note later. We then ran Calliope and then mentioned the stops in the “Cowboy” section. We moved on to Third Relation and ran from the last lead variation through the end and then ran from the Ist lead variation through the end. Victor commented that the last four chords should be brought down as by the last chord the song has already ended. We moved on to Askesis, with an aborted first attempt, but after looping the first two sections we played it through and took a short break..
We finished working on Askesis then Growing Circle, Where Victor said the bass chords could be more forceful and Glenn mentioned the leads should bring it down in the middle section where all are arppegiating. Moving Force was run with some concern for the base synchronization., Thraak was run a couple of times with Martin getting a note on high string ring and lagging in the poly rhythms, Victor was working on the 5's and commented the overall feel was good. We ended with Victor and Glen working on Chrysanthemum and running one section with some tricky notes.
At the end we spoke of gig logistics and Victor addressed the focus and attention brought by the performers during the whole performance, before during and after. He spoke of only necessary talking and appropriate behavior, and the necessity of warm-up/prep and not becoming and audient when MB is dancing. It was agreed to meet at least by 1:00 at the performance space.
