Slow No Tempo’s “Quarantet” Project Returns For Christmas
With the latest restrictions on social gatherings, Slow No Tempo is doing the responsible thing and stopping meeting in person. We were just finishing rehearsing some of our favourite xmas tunes in order to launch a late-stage recording session… now we are doing the very 2020 thing and bringing back the Quarantet approach of recording in isolation.
You’ll even have the ability to buy the “album” if you want. Read the post on SNT’s website for full details.
Starting next Tuesday (December 1) we’ll be posting a weekly festive video. It’s not the most idyllic solution, but at least we have an option vs. just not doing anything. I am thankful that we live in a time when not being able to physically get together does not completely destroy performing arts.
