1. 10mins of voice improvisation
1.1 je - became aware of the Zorn-esque abrupt changes to the visual score.
1.2 cv - did je follow this? Yes
1.3 The addition of the blue did affect the improvisers
1.4 je: Does it matter where the audience are taken ... (each version we do perform feels very different)
1.4.1 je: What is the composers intention? Does he have a fixed idea of how the end result will be?
1.5 je: Is the performance environment allowing flexibility for the improvisers to achieve what the composer desires?
1.6 cv: the voice only experiment appeared to allow more playfulness from the musicians ... exploring more of the definitions of the word 'play'. Q: Is it important to include this list of definitions in the performer notes?
2. 10mins of minimal improvisation
2.1 Abandoned as the minimum amount the live musicians could do was nothing
3. Extend duration of CJA
3.1 Ran out of time - did not attempt
4. Third run through (see video below)
4.1 je surprised how different it is from the last versions
4.2 At 11'50" the direct musical underscore accompaniment of the 'seal' story caused a split, je felt the 'sound painting' was 'weak' and predictable, cv didn't object to it
4.3 je and cv feel they are understanding the 'play' and the concept more
