4/15/2007 - Art Loft

In Attendance: Victor, Glenn, Dev, Chris, Alex

The team arrives in the deluge of the N'oreaster and begins to set up. Glenn's guitar is not cooperating (bad battery/connection), we abandon amplification and move to a circle.

We begin with some work on circulating C Major. After several attempts, Victor works us through the scale in 6ths (as there are 5 of us...). We attempt a final circulation after this work, and while it is more confident, we ultimately do not manage to get through the whole thing.

Work for the evening on the following pieces, adjusting parts for the members present as needed:

Eye of the Needle - three times through
Third Relation - some mistakes and detail work to be done, particularly on transitions
Askesis - 4 to 1 in favor of the basses, more detail work required here for the sections, and some corrections made for Chris on his part

A break, in which Victor shares a dream...

Thrak - some extensive work here, particularly on the 5 vs. 7 section. A couple of instances where the pattern established itself well, but didn't quite maintain
Asturias - Once through with the team
