Tidbits

By Esther Rogers

*Constantly in the back of my mind,are miscellaneous disorganized tidbits.
-disorganized tidbits of ruminating about this Colorado trip...

H asked if four corners was where the kivas are. Kiva: "A large underground or partly underground room in a Pueblo Indian village, used chiefly for religious  ceremonies." In what ways will learning about the tradition of spiritual practice by the Anasazi and Pueblo - so intricately connected with the famous kiva structures themselves - influence my music, or my own faith? * Cluster harmonics/Singing or tonalizing while playing cello/Sounds of wind, echoes/Resonances. "Esther and Scubba in a canyon creating/composing melodic lines ready for orchestration at a later date..." (B) *"The problem with Tompkins wasn't his plan to save the land, it was his plan to freeze the people in place. The conflation of a natural ecosystem with a 'natural' culture was dangerous, it condemned the Chileans to not becoming what they might become." (Patrick Symmes) How will I participate in wilderness preservation but also contribute to a modern, current art? * Rosin Tuner Music stand. Can I borrow a music stand from someone in the area community rather than packing mine? (for when I'm not on site) Zoom recorder. G says I have to learn to control the amount of conversion... * How many snacks will I need to pack for my 2 day journey on the train??  *
