From RF’s diary July 6th 2008 (ref.Circle work during Sant Cugat’s B&I course):
“Three blasts of extemporisation, astonishment & wonder over a 45-minute period.
This eruption of energy: how to construct a vehicle to get to this? Alternatively expressed, how to facilitate & catalyse this? One of the comments that has been made on the course, from a composer, of the difficulty / impossibility of composing what is being played spontaneously in the Circle by some 50 guitarists – so, how might this be done?
Seeing an interesting possibility for a future-manifestation in public performance.”
