Calisthenics session (1 hour):

First 45 minutes of the right hand work, with metronome at 40 BPM.

Begin with one note per two beats: first note out of time, second note out of time, third note on time, fourth note out of time, getting there...

Then 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8 notes per beat.

While progressing with the speed work with different exercises/aspects of the work, for example Division of Attention (4 against 5).

A balancing act, this.

Then stretching exercise for the left hand and one exercise i got from Mikael in January 2005, somehow i remember.

Nutritious practice, so to speak, put the money in the bank at the end.

-------

and later on - play, no metronome.

9 days: record more takes of it.

Station North: let go of the second part for now, and what used to be intro became the end of the piece. There's a completely new intro that appeared last time i worked on it, so the station moved.

Air: The framework is there, and probably is going to stay like this. Working on the other guitar parts, the parts are gradually balancing out.
