✺ THE LEARNING PLAN ✺

use a sound healing bowl in the performance, but similar to what you did for 'player 1 computer' (oh remember that piece), have the sound of the bowl already recorded.

• so when you play the bowl at the start you can have a timer, pedal, or something that starts the 'piece' off for you seamlessly. so there'll come a point where i'll time playing the bowl with a point in the 'piece' where more frequencies will come out, or there'll be more rhythmic and melodic interest, something interesting going on.
