Aphasia is by Mark Applebaum   Mark Applebaum is a musical inventor whose music combines the unrelenting rigor of post-war European Modernism with ridiculousness and whimsy borne of zooming obsessively and exactingly close to the mundane. Mike and Mike break down how they learned Mark Applebaum’s iconic solo work *Aphasia.* “Eat sandwich,” “smell grapefruit,” “open beer,” “close window,” “fasten seatbelt”!   Topics include: - Prior experience with Applebaum’s music - Practicing slow and fast - Memorizing new repertoire - Being specific in theatrical repertoire   Mike C’s video of Aphasia with Four/Ten Media https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2YLoqIYEUI   MikeDrop is Mikes Compitello and Truesdell
