Written version of RIME paper (GCID) for MER, Exeter 2007
Music plays. 14:50
-I’ve heard you singing before.
-I have.
-You have?
-Yeah, at (inaudible) party on Saturday night.
-Oh God, that was awful.
15:30 Music plays; playing along and talking (about the music)
continue.
-Turn it up for a second.
The drumming is getting completely out of time and random.
-Everyone, why don’t we all, like sing it?
Track stops.
-Shall we try again, maybe without the drum this time? (Laughter)
-(Drummer says) Sorry!
Here they are in the next lesson, again without a teacher, rehearsing for a performance
to the rest of the class. One girl, who says ‘Right shall we start then?’ seems to be
leading the group. At one point there is a disagreement between two girls:
Music plays on the CD; inaudible talk; someone is hitting drum sticks
together, then a cymbal.
-Right, right shall we start then?
-I have to go (inaudible), ‘cause I have to (inaudible as drum is being played
loudly).
Music plays on CD, keyboard and drums.
-It’s just you should be doing it by yourself.
-This bit? I haven’t worked it out yet.
Music continues, then someone switches the CD off and playing stops.
-Sorry, it’s just you’re doing it by yourself until you hear the drums.
-I have a message from Charlie on my phone.
-Saying what?
Music starts up again, CD and instruments playing.
-I have to do that bit though, der, der, der, der.
-Right. Wait until it comes though.
