RHUL Gamelan

That's a photo of the ensemble. I didn't take the picture so that's why it doesn't look as good as my other photos because it's not taken with my camera.

Our performance tonight went pretty well. It wasn't perfect and like Simon said (the director of the group), if it was perfect we wouldn't be having rehearsal next week, now would we?

This is just a reminder for myself, but in my next post I am going to talk about "authenticity" in music and in a general social context. I've been thinking about it a lot because it is something that we have been talking about a lot, recently, in my seminars. I'm too tired at the moment to discuss it, but I will eventually.
