That conference went well...

Last weekend was the [Anatomy of Listening] conference at Glasgow, and I think it went really well. We had two recitals: one from the Edinburgh Quartet, one from the pianist Martin Jones. Martin (pictured above) played some outrageously virtuoso pieces, and was kind enough to play some Chopin (and other works) into Jenny's magic musical machine. In the picture, you can see him showing off the florescent makeup applied to the fingers so that Jen's computer system can follow his hands. At the speed he was playing on Sunday last, it would have had a job!

I particularly like the shot of [Martin in the whisky bar]

I wanted Jenni to play at the piano to demonstrate some of the points in her talk, but she declined on the basis that there were too many musicians of international standing around and there was "no way" she was going to play with them in the room. But the unlocked Steinway-D of Glasgow University Concert Hall was too much of a pull, and as soon as the audience started to file out, she was playing duets!
