It's ancient, 30+ years old, and was on a crap piano and a crap cassete player, but it's the longest best playing I have of me, period.

In the shop and the mood struck me, grabbed the least bad piano and hit record.

My technique was way better back then, I was more creative, no arthritis or injuries yet blah blah blah.

I played at least 2 hours a day back then sometimes 6.

If I could just get back to this level I'd be super happy!

Wow!
Goes to show that assumptions don’t work— I had images of a vintage piano guy playing some Berceuse of Nocturne. Nice use of harmonies

I like the music! The beginning sounds a bit like some of the minimalist stuff from Ryuichi Sakamoto. And then you went somewhere else. Very creative indeed.

Wonderful stuff. I love the contrasts and the expressiveness.

Some vital ideas there, terrific rhythm, amply justifies resurrecting your technique and seriously recommencing free improvisation.
