Wenn man eine Reise tut

I´m in Paris together with Malin and Julie (14,5) in the Norwegian Composer Union's flat at Pigalle. The idea is that composers can combine work and vacation (I needed four days to connect my MacBook Pro with the rest of the equipment installed in the flat - it's not about connecting - I know that part by heart, it's more about a kind of permanent writers block...) A colleague of mine (Synne Schouen) would like to have a upright piano in the flat, and I agree with her. The sound and "feeling" (I hate that word "feeeeeliiiing") would be much better than the Roland plastic keyboard (there is a work around: connect the Roland keyboard to your computer, and play the sound from f.ex. Apple Logic Pro within the computer). I've got some colleagues who work with microtonality. I might do it myself in the future, but until then I see so many possibilities within the the twelve tone tempred scale that I would continue to explore.
