Published on Mon, 2017-05-01 12:19Back to practice after seed tour day and Bachi BBQ. Feeling a little down (I didn't do as much as I should to make BBBQ a success). Feeling a bit down on Traipse but not for any good reason... just because the end still feels really far away.

AP2 for Grand Annex
Published on Fri, 2017-04-28 20:54Goal
Improve ability to improv in 21 for performance of AP2.
Plan
Practice daily to no-solo track.
A good goal would be 14 practices between now and gig.
Wrap-up
Very pleased with this arrangement of the piece and my progress on improvising rhythm and movement over the beat! In the end, I stuck fairly closely to my scripted solo but when I strayed, I didn't lose the beat.
I made my goal of 14 practices, many of which were fairly inspired.
