Polyphony practice
I lucked the heck out! I was invited by a polyphony singer to what I thought was going to be a concert. Turns out she had invited me to observe her group's private practice and the process of their new accompanist on the Violin and Cello compose their music. This group is entitled Isulatine and is one of only a couple ALL female groups. The practice was held in a small church, great accoustics. The group is about to put out a CD (I have ordered one) and they sound remarkable. The practice started at eight and I took in this creative process until around 1 in the morning when they finally called quits. It was a great oppertunity to get some up close artsy photographs and to ask questions about the music lifestyle. An intimate peak into the behind the scenes of this music! I was glad that their was a band dog also that kept me company in the back of the FREEzing church....Anyhoo....I am getting ready to leave my comfertable little paradise here.....beware I have been islandafied....
tonight, a bar celebrating it's 80th anniversary....more music.....
gotta run....just had a quick minute to jot.....

Thats truly incredible. The way you write it I feel like i can picture everything in my head. The sights, smells, and the tones floating in the air reverberating the church. I cant wait to see you again back home to hear in person all your wonderful experiences. See you soon.
