this business of writing about what we are doing,
or wanting to achieve is wonderful, yet I
write so fast and my thought speeds ahead,
and I am so giddy with happiness at what
is happening, and my head is vertiginous
at the gladness of the little moments
of performance creation, that I cannot
write a straight sentence. not that I am
known to write straight sentences, or
even notorious for expository prose!

Anyhow, who cares. Quick notes.
a half hour's work yesterday afternoon
yielded a move away from percussion
to let the voice float freely above
the instrumentation . what this does
is free the voice to make its own
statement as voice , but a voice
permeated by the text. the words
and voice become one being,
one might say.


End of the week ought to be interesting
and see what becomes of the "mixes" and
I don't like the lingo, and it's misleading.
So then, we will see what happens
as we try to mold the recording
with the voice in midair.
Enough for now.
