So far...

The writing has been underway (intermittently) for a couple of months now. Rehearsals begin on 20 Jan so I'm still finalising parts and reworking some sections, but the music will need to go out to the band in the next few days so they can get started on it.

The pre-rehearsal meet on 16 Dec was really helpful to hear how the ensemble could sound and to start the improvisation dialogue. We tried a few rough sections of the piece and made a few recordings of the new Graphic Score Eildon. I'll post some audio soon.

Photos of The Tub (Devil's Beef Tub) are arriving this week courtesy of Kevin Dempster. Looking forward to seeing how these can feed into the piece, either as extra inspiration or as projections during the concert. Several storytelling voices have been suggested and I'm hoping to get that tied up next week too.

On with the writing!
