A Week
On Friday the 18th, I had a gig with a bassist, Yutaka Kaidou, at "Violon"in Asagaya.
This time, we played mainly improvised music. It was relaxing and enjoyable.
It was so quiet in Violon that I could feel the breathing of everyone in the audience, so I had been nervous while I was playing before, but now the silence felt comfortable.
On Sunday the 20th, I had a concert as a member of "Saraband" at "Kouen-doori Classics "in Shibuya.
I had time before the sound check, so I went to the Shoutou Museum, where there was " Korea and Japan Metal Art "exhibition. I found the work of Korean artist, JOEN Yong-il, interesting.
I enjoyed playing in the concert in the evening. "Saraband " had never played there before. It sounded different from before, and felt fresh. It was easy for me to play, because I could see the other members of the band from the grand piano. There was another unit, a duo called "Ingenue",which is Yuikio Nishihara, the bassist from "Saraband ", and Yoshimi Aoki.
It was an excellent combination. Yoshimi's voice was soft and clear, and sounded comfortable. There was 2 babies in the audience. They were listening to her and swaying, but they sometimes fell off their seats.
On Tuesday the 22th, Rehearsal of "Conneticut Urban Syndicate".
The leader had asked me to take 6 new songs down in musical notation, and had sent me the Mini Disk with the new songs on. I wrote all of them in 2 hours at a studio and 1 hour and a half in "Dotour". I managed to do it in time !
On Wednesday the 23th, I had a recording with Yoshihiro Goseki , a sax player. It was just recording our playing on our Dats and MDs for ourselves in a studio, but it worked better than we expected. We recorded some very good music. Even so the "Bosendolfer " sounds marvellous !!
I finished reading a mystery book, "Don't ask" by Donald E. Westlake. The story is a comedy where the main character is a thief. I like the kind of light flavour...
Now I've started reading a book, "The Department of Queer Complaints " by Dickson Carr, which I chose from the many books in the paper book which my friend, a writer and bassist, who loves books, gave me.
