The end of week two was celebrated with our group improvised performances, many thanks to Seb, Corey and Emma who performed with me.
I found the performance really interesting as our group had elected not to rehearse and instead to perform in front of the class in our first time together.
I think that this decision really forced us to listen and respond to each other instead of going through the motions as we might have if we had practiced prior to the performance.
One difference I really noticed between us and others was that we really wanted to make sure our piece wasn't too short as we felt that a lot of the previous performances had been cut short just as they were beginning to evolve into something that was really working well.
A regret of mine was that my circuit was hugely quieter than the others that I was performing with and thus was often drowned out during the performance. Although this was an interesting dynamic that was a point of difference in our performance and I continued playing past when the other instruments were stopped and this was very subtle and produced a more gradual fadeout towards the end of the piece.
Altogether I was really impressed with the week as I have very limited experience with electronics and it is very satisfying when you surpass your own expectations.
