Wasn't able to "get admin stuff done and then tackle artistic work" today.  Not sure why but couldn't rally to set up OT and tackle Koneri section.  Tomorrow morning, first thing!

Somewhat inspired all the same.  Heard back from Kaitlyn S.  A lead!  And am having fun improvising kawatsura.  This has potential.

Kotohajime 2019

Blaine and I will debut a new piece for pitched shime and ceramic bowls, "Resolution", Yuta and Julia perform Miyake/Hachijo, and we'll pound and eat mochi.  I'm excited about this show!

From the venue...

For its 36th anniversary, Kotohajime, JACCC's signature New Year celebration, will welcome 2019 and celebrate the Year of the Boar. Curated by Master Artist in Residence, Hirokazu Kosaka.

Playing along to YouTube videos.  Fun!

Should be working on Octatrack integration but this was good groove practice and useful to discover new music.  Emailed many bands.

Haven't taken notes for the last few days but did a decent amount of toilet practice every day for the last week.  Adding a conservative 30min/day.

Practiced at ATUS for about 45 min today, covering office.

Toilet practice, plus alpha.  Feeling pretty inspired... should try and get rough-draft kawatsura / OT piece down quickly.
