A very generous audience. My comment to the team afterwards: "I don't know if we were good, but we were popular". A generous sprinkling of Clams Crimsonique. Tonight was the dangerous set list: beginning with "FraKctured". At the beginning of the set I have no idea of the sound, the audience, the sense of the performance - this establishes itself during the first 3-4 pieces. The group sets this up ahead of time. Then, after that point, the performance may begin to take on a life of its own. Whether it does or not, depends significantly on the audience - if it "hears" the performance or not, and to what degree. If the music is heard & accepted, then the show takes on a life of its own. Otherwise, it moves through linear time towards the finish. Nothing of value has happened.
"Discard the superfluous."
