Last night we ran into what seemed a very frustrating barrier. All the rehearsal that we had done seemed to be lost. The tune we were working on didn't come together at all in the studio, and the bandora kept going out of tune in the middle of the recording. So we went on to another tune, nailed it the second time through, and then went back to the first one. This time it came together, almost magically.
Persistence is the name of the game.
If you are in the area, we hope you will come to the concert on August 25th. As you know, Gerald prefers to play without sound reinforcement and a live room greatly improves the dynamics of the music. Gerald Trimble plays viola da gamba, medieval vielle, and numerous exotic stringed instruments from Europe and the Middle East. Trimble's variety of experience in Celtic, medieval, Indian and middle eastern music are being combined in this eclectic concert of exciting new musical ideas played on fantastic ancient instruments. New Music from ancient wisdom traditions.
