RODA IV: "Singing"
-Elliot Cole
Quoted material: "Paranauê" - traditional Brazilian capoeira corrido
"Circles of all kinds animate the pattern of this work: regular turns around a clock face, corkscrews that deepen as they spin, spirals that expand and contract, and, I hope, something of the circles I am learning to make with my body from my capoeira teacher - organic, fluid, and sly. I didn’t grow up playing music on stages; we played in a circle with our friends. This distinction, call it music in a circle vs. music in a line, is part of my worldview. Music in a line is presentational, performative, public, played to please the audience. Music in a circle is communal, playful, private, played ‘for the love of the game.’ To me, the best music is made by people who can create real circle-music magic between each other, and can also share it with us. This is what I feel from Projeto Arcomusical and celebrate in my Roda. My first hope is that I have written something that is fun to play, in a deep and nourishing way. I know that if it can bring them joy, they will be able to pass it on to you."
