Meeting Minutes September 17th

Met at the dojo at 8:45 PM. Attendees: Victor, MB, Martin, Glenn, and Chris P (an attendee of the Free Circle). Another attendee, Armand, stayed and watched. Chris joined us in the circle. We began by tuning. We played a circulation and then Third Relation. This went well. Then, Victor asked us what we have been working on. MB had worked on Third Relation and the Bach piece most recently. Martin is working on a new composition. Glenn has a new composition titled The World Blind. He showed us how it goes, we picked up on the chord progressions for two parts and played them in a loop while Victor tried to work out a baseline. We did some more circulating. Then, played EotN which felt rocky. A break consisted of MB talking about the dance project and going over a recently generated handout. The plans seemed to land with the group who were doing some AT lie down work while listening to the handout review. After this Chris P and Armad left us. We worked on embroidery exercises first normal with more melody from MB and fewer notes from the regular note-rich. Then, some work on rhythm recognition from the player to the left IDed before beginning a new embroidery. Finally, a wonderful circulation I thought. The meeting ended with discussion about new elements. Then, Victor declared that he was choosing to be done, so we were. Post-meeting...Jeff (a Free Circle participant) had left us with pics from ArtBeat and last years Ruby and Billy summer party. We discussed the Lowell gig. Homeward. -- MBAH
