>> media // common themes one rehearsal soundbites

This group of music makers is a pretty funny bunch. Knowing this, I setup my minidisc recorder and grabbed our rehearsal sessions together. I excerpted some of the funnier instances. I meant to include them in the album but felt that they might be out of place since the other Common Themes projects don't have any soundbites. We musicians have a weird sense of humour or an overabundance of strange enthusiasm.
