It's always hard to remember how much stuff I've done over the last 12 months when I write these recap posts!
We had a great home concert with 11 new works from songs to transitions, and I was happy to see Left to My Own Devices be performed. I don't know if there's life in it after its debut; I really liked the gimmick of having one hand play a simple beat non-stop plus adding a ton of polyrhythms, but now that it's out of my head, I might be ok leaving it there. We'll see!
Definitely felt like I grew as an odaiko player because of all the prep I did for the solo in the concert. It helps to have a drum that I can reach up and play on instead of adjust because of my size.
Only two weeks of touring, and early in the year, but that was it. One of the busier tours but touring is one of those things that you really enjoy when you're doing it and really miss it when you don't. Well at least for me!
Lots of taiko throughout the year, but overall it was pretty normal for me. Which is good! Don't need a lot of crazy years. Like next year might be...
