Regular practice with KM. Felt rather tired but spent the first 30 min or so discussing our goals for the pieces we're playing as they relate to our larger career goals. I realized my main long-term goal (at the moment) is to make a significant contribution to naname choreography. Traipse is really important to me. As a medium-term goal, it would be very useful if I have a naname solo piece, as a compliment to Radiddlepa. After the chat, we were motivated to play and tackled AP1.

Notes:

Looped the 21 phrase for 10-12 min, then took turns soloing over 7 and 21 (about 10 min each). I re-realized how helpful it is for me to try this exercise. It feels like if I can understand when my hands reach the drum as I move through odd-time, my standard 4/4 stuff will feel much more confident. We're hoping to continue this practice in the future. Perhaps I should create a "target"...
