More percussion, less discussion

Thanks to Rod Paton, and everyone who came and contributed to a day of Lifemusic yesterday.
We explored the concepts of Lifemusic; experienced a variety of approaches to establishing improvised pieces; had fun with sounds, our voices, and words; worked with storytelling and sound (thanks Vicki Ross from Openstorytellers for the story!); shared lunch and had a good old fashioned chat.
More days like that would be good!
Rod gave us lots of little things to consider and take away ..... ranging from Edward Lear (B was a bat) to John Cage (if it's boring, just repeat it) to Pythagoras (pentatonic scales) to the Higgs Bosun particle (!), to Frank Zappa:

 We remembered how much Lifemusic informs our work, and what fun it is to have the luck to work with music.
