Recollections: day 11

Sunday January 27th: Many different activities today. Jessie, Elise, Tony, Sivan and I had an extensive conversation on the practicalities of sitting down to compose over breakfast at a favourite turkish coffee shop on Friedrichstraße. In the afternoon Jessie, Kevin and Daniel went to see Der Rosenkavelier at the komische oper while Elise, Tony and Sivan headed to Neukölln to catch a performance of pieces by Michael Pisaro, Stefan Thut and Alvin Lucier (a recording of which is available here). Intending also to see the latter but having had my efforts thwarted by a succession of closed S-bahn stations, getting hopelessly lost, and late trains, I spent my afternoon walking through the increasingly rain-like snow getting a sense for tiergarten's many nested spaces.
