This morning I got up quite early, so I decided to drive up and then walk in Nakhal Shlomo. I started the walk before there was any light from the dawn at all. Instead, the waning moon, which was high in the sky, lit my way. Of course, it wasn't long before the dawn light began, and by the time I returned to the car it was quite light although still well before sunrise.
I had only one Berlitz student today for one unit: 12:30-1:15. This left me plenty of time to work on my music. One of the things I concentrated on today was setting the locations of the instruments more realistically. In the Synful Orchestra software it is possible to control the size of the room, the listener's location, the location of each section of the orchestra, the spread of the players within a section, and many other more exotic parameters. Just by adjusting the locations of the sections I was able to improve both of the performances I am working on: my Folk Song for Strings, and Bach's 3rd Brandenburg Concerto.
We ate lunch again at Greg, but we tried some different dishes. David had their red lentil soup, and I had patoush salad, which is now a new favorite of mine!
After lunch, we drove the short loop, stopping at Yotvata to replenish our supply of their delicious dates.
I also spent a little time researching harpsichord plugins that I could use if I decide to make my Bach performance more authentic. I found several, but I haven't made any decisions yet.
