The present is the history I revisited at Stalin's Piano this week at City Recital Hall, Angel Place. 
What an amazing performance…!

History and inspiration is the theme of my 10th week. 
S linked me this: 
Pamelia Kurstin: The untouchable music of the theremin

Kurstin's absolutely beautiful playing inspired some take-aways for me:

• Adjusting
• Listening
• Need to be still
• Breathing can affect
• Double bass- I really want to learn how, it was also a quick transition
• Play more jazz pieces/standards
• I will change it up more with variety (eg. fx)
• About the history - it's useful for presentation. Probably a good idea to play first then explain the history.
• Wondering if she uses certain hand movements from a learnt technique or her own invention? 
• Also RH // dynamics hand doing the bass plucking like gestures - I'd like to try

Earlier theremin session this week on Friday - working with Ableton Push. I enjoyed using it together, there is a lot of detail I can go into. 

I plan on watching this theremin documentary and will let you know what I think!
