55

I worked a bit on the website, sectionizing the articles and so.
Please check and chenge if neccessary. Maybe its useful to put some of what was email-only onto this site?
Or should we just stick to email? What Do you think?

(Its a little awkward to use both media in parallel)

Claudius suggested, to start to directly work into the score as modified by me.

To quote his mail:

(neil, anthony, spencer, dietrich) are going to produce some material into the score. we (thomas, myself, stefan) could then use this material as our input and we all are able to reflect on the first shot……exchange material and go into the second round (checking if the structure idea works by the way)

This all sounds good to me in the first place. But I also like Dietrich’s idea to have several interwoven processes/deveopments which are being presented in an always different manner due to the always different combination of media.

So, if anyone has ideas about what these developments might be (i know Dietrich has some, and I’m also thinking of some) we could more easy think of the concrete content of a section as we have:

• the corresponding excerpt of the picture
• the process and the stage at which it is
• the combination of the media together (at times) with an overall idea of the general setting

I’d like it, if we would agree about these processes.
(If you’d rather produce material before, I’d like that as well, though)

HI All,

When should the Berklee Students arrive in Essen. There are trying to beat the toursists in the rush to buy plane tickets.

Best regards,

Neil

Hi All here are my comments to Claudius’ last note:

>01
>the piece will be 55 minutes long (what about the working title
>“55” (fiftyfive) ? )

The name 55 or fiftyfive is fine with me. Please explain how you derived this number – perhaps the process can work for sub-sections.

>02
>we open now 3 bascets (A structureideas / B material / C absolutely
>nono’s)

Sounds good. I’ll start adding tonight.

>03
>the four professors first agree on basic elements of the piece – this
>should be done by
>the beginning of april and we will then involve the students.

Sounds good. The more specific the structure the easier it will be to execute. Improvisation will need to be an element … I’ll save that for the baskets.

>04
>the next projectphase then will be an alchemistic process of taking
>the material from each other, reacting on, trans or informing it

All good.
