Improvising to make the dance happen – 25th Aug '24

00:00

Music from my 'Music-Led Dance' outdoor morning session, August 25th '24.

Improvisation was required a lot this morning!
My first challenge was how to get into the field when the padlock wouldn't open.
(I managed in a non-destructive way!)
The next challenge was how to get access to the solar power as that padlock wouldn't open neither. Again I found a way. Fortunately there were no further big challenges once people began to arrive.

Then I was able to rest into gratitude, for finding a way around obstacles, for the people who came to dance and for the music.
Extra thanks to Jody Mosher for 'Ponderosa Prayer'; this is the last track that I played – she sent me her composition during the week and I wanted the living land that we danced on to hear this prayer.
Back at Pondfield on Sunday September 1st.

Listening again this evening to your rich set Robert. Lovely to hear Ponderosa Prayer at the end with your field recording of wind! Thank you for sharing that tender piece.

Thanks for sending it to me Jody, as well as letting me know the sad demise of the special tree.
(btw no upload this week as I didn't record this Sunday's session!)

Hi Robert, there was no memory, simply the beautiful merging of the two fields in music :) This London field so rich, verdant and abundant too - and will be happy to be back in Pondfield this weekend x wishing you beautiful days X

There is a long loop at the beginning of this session which played whilst I greeted people.
