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.
