Hallo, it is only a week since Lanterna, but energy we gave each other there is fastly fading away, because we are back in our normal lifes, in our schools and families, with our troubles, problems and joys. So here are some pictures to bring back some memories. (Im sorry you can´t see any thumbnails anymore, but this editor suddenly stopped to offer them, and I don´t know why)

You won’t believe what happened today. I went to see, what are musicians doing and they said to me: “You can’t come in. We prepare a surprise. Nobody can enter.” Outrageous, I even said “Fuck off”, so angry I was 
. Now I realize I should have apologized myself for such a nasty talk – Sorry, I didn’t mean it, it was just expression of my surprise. But you know, you could let me in, I wouldn’t tell anyone. I never tell anything I see here.
But it was real problem, because I couldn’t take pictures, couldn’t see their work and evaluate it. WHAT a SHAME! What shall I do? And than something unbelievable and miraculous happened, my narrow-sighted eyes saw Moni, our vampire lady, who happens to be the translator for music group. SOLUTION from beyond the grave! Moni lended my camera a took my pictures for me. DANKE bardzo!
Musicians. They are not like other groups, they are more like a sect. Always secretive, don’t want to tell what they are preparing for the show. They don’t talk like normal people, they just make sounds and whistles. Strange Ones.
But they work, and they work hard. They practice and practice, they record and edit. They learn how to operate an amplifier. They improvise, looking for the right sound. They even recorded a short video, but I’m afraid we have no way how to make it digital and show to others.
Oh these music people they are always so cool, you have to envy them. You know all those breaks, creative breaks, discussions and waiting for inspiration to come. Such a nice life.
But on the other site, such a hard work – learning one rhytm all over and over, practicing one song hundred times until everybody hates it, having hard times practicing right intonation, learning all these complicated technical devices like mikrofones, keyboards, editing software, amplifiers and so on. And being so exhausted in the end. Terrible destiny, I don’t envy them at all.
P.S. – I heard they have a new instrument, the horn – and you know what – played by a girl. Isn’t that fantastic? So now they have guitar, bassguitar, piano, horn, violin and seven voices. COOL.
At the musical workshop they started, as we all, with learning basics. They have a difficult situation there unfortunately, because there are too many female singers and hardly anyone who really plays an instrument. But they managed it.
They divided themselves into groups – one for singers, one for players, one for editors and there may be another one, but im not sure, because I did not visit them today. But tommorow there will be fresh news and pictures.
What I know – thanks to Ales P. and Klara L. – is this: they started with rhytm – what is it, how to cope with it. They learned how to use musical equipment, how to and where to connect cables and stuff.
And then they started to improvize, play, sing and so on as these musicians do. They even recorded short track. Thats all I know for tonight.
