A big "Bravo and thank you!" to the PAT participants today. I am very happy and filled with gratitude that there are those who wish to experiment with me in this way. It was also nice to hear from a couple of you so soon who played in today's concert.
For me, it was fascinatingly wonderful. I played what I was feeling. Eventually, I started playing a very short sequence of notes that sounded like prelude music for ... PAT concerts. I will be sharing it with you shortly on the blog. When the music came, I was feeling very open, secure and very aware that others were playing alone, knowing they were not alone. People from different parts of the planet. WOW! I felt very happy, simple and childlike during the applause at the end. What a unique sensation and sentiment to clap for others in appreciation, knowing others were doing the same! Here I was in a room with just me, but I knew I wasn't.
Carol was participating in another part of the house and, afterwards, when we spoke about it, she expressed a feeling of simple gratitude that it could happen and that everyone could succeed in such an unpressured way.
Till next time!
It's great to read about the experiences of those participating in the PAT concert yesterday!
ReplyDeleteI had such a special time playing, and more as I went on and became more aware of the others partaking. It made a feelable difference to play with others in mutual support like this. I felt more free and able to listen more to my own playing!
Thank you for making this experiment happen Norman - and I'm looking forward to hearing the "prelude" notes!!
