This is what followed after the original theme of the morning reached its conclusion. I separated the two sections; this part is 15 minutes. The ending follows my routine of holding on until I can't hear it anymore, during which time I try to identify the lowest note and the highest note before I open my eyes. At that point, the mics showed off by picking up the ticking clock on the wall.

Here, for fun, is an example of my morning piano routine. It's the first thing I do every morning, like morning pages. I've been doing this for a few years. It's pure improv, although I have fallen into some grooves like playing with the time (Gina Lollabrigida for 7s, Macintosh Apple/Michelangelo for 5s). I edited out the worst of the digital clipping disturbance, which may have been an electrical connection gone rogue. I kept some of those warts in near the beginning; they weren't too bad and they disappeared after a short time. This one is about 17 minutes long. I always end on a big chord and let it ring until I can't hear it anymore. I always try to identify the lowest and the highest notes of that chord. Oh, and I always keep my eyes closed the whole time.
