August 15 - Firsts


First day of the Diablo Valley College Fall 2011 Semester in Music Theory,


and all apparently goes well,


with dictation on first three measures melodic measures of Richard Strauss's Also Sprach Zarathustra (a first, actually),


on a day as bright as the students,


with seemingly everyone


in rhythm.  In the lab thereafter to record the next five movements of

Acid Loops, Op. 195
XI. Latin Horns
XII. Latin Organ
XIII. Latin Piano
XIV. Arhythmia
XV. Bill Laswell Collection


with Doug Michael, Gino Robair, Mark Steidel, and the new College President... and thence home to Harriet for the rest of the day's endeavors, musical and otherwise -- a nice night to sit out back for a while with wine and stir-fry.
