Prep

WILSHIRE

Los Pobladores

• clapping: ride, 2/4/6, o-oke

REFERENCE IMAGE AT BOTTOM

• introductions over groove: name, favorite thing about LA
• walking through drums (everyone try all parts)

Imagine

• Chichibu Yomatsuri

• Louisiana funeral march
• LA's festival?

Parts

• at drums: tonal balance
• try while moving

• note player heights

GRAND

Vocal Warmup

• coming together
• singing to the space
• passing car
• trill

Crash

Group into o-oke, shime, okedo, and kane. Come up with something that resembles an automobile crash. We want it to be something that is structurally random; meaning it sounds random, but every player can play it exactly the same, repeatedly.

Structure

Crash + singing = done simultaneously
• Crash 1 + low singing. After hearing 4 kane hits....
• Crash 2 + med singing/passing cars. After hearing 4 kane hits...
• Crash 3 + high singing, followed by trill build. After hearing 4 kane hits...
• Clean single hit and then immediate silence (place hand on instrument to stop reverberation)
