Improv in odd-time signature practice.
Used the 21+ride / 7 / soloist diminshment arrangement from last week. Was compelling to have soloist cue out by joining the completely-reduced base-beat one time. KM was particularly able to guide us through builds and major changes. In my own playing, I come closest to this with busy, repetitive rhythms (de vs ka, teko, etc). Although we're all getting better at hearing the groove while we improvise and I had moments when I liked how choreo aligned with groove, I still felt occasionally lost during large movements. To address this...
Next personal challenge: brush cutting
Pick a starting movement that allows for perfect alignment with groove ("don su da su su..."). Practice it a few times and quickly notate it. Add the next portion and notate that, gradually working through the whole groove. If it's not able to be looped, improvise a bar between runs of the new "trail".
If it feels awkward to do this kind of practice because it's pulling you away from the other players, perhaps only do this once at the beginning of the practice session, then improvise after that, trying to use the new trail.
