Final office improv - I gave back the office keys to my landlord today. No office, and no ePiano in the near future.
Longer piece than usual.
Some anger in the beginning - somebody stole a piece of luggage I had put outside for the mailman to pick up. :( Some sweet stuff at the end.
Thank you very much for your feedback as we went along. It was a great experience to take courage and share this with you. Keep in touch, and it won’t be over.

Back to the office, back to Office Improv. Playing with patterns while paying attention not to become too dissonant. :)

Friday office impro. Played a minute of scales before recording this and it seems to have expressed. Thank you for the feedback - it’s good to hear from you. How do you like this one?

Wednesday afternoon office improv. Just a short stop in the office to pick up some documents. Working mostly from home this week. Had a song stuck in my head and it expressed in the beginning. Then something rattled on the right side of the keyboard while I played (00:40) and I tried to fix it while playing but found that it only made things worse. :) Ah, well.
I am thinking that the “first thing” approach to Office Impro might actually not so good in the long run - warming up before recording a piece could be better, both in terms of technique and mindset (the pieces I play _after_ the office improv come out very different). For now, I will continue with the frame that I have begun with, at least until number 30. Maybe I will record and publish other pieces in parallel too and see where it takes us.
Thanks for listening. Do drop me a line if you enjoy this (or don’t) - I like hearing from you.

Monday office improv. Will be travelling the rest of the week - should be back in the office next week on Monday. The piano sounds slightly different than usually - I forgot to reset the brightness after playing with a Grand Piano sound yesterday.

Thursday afternoon office improv, after a long meeting outside. New recording position, more in front. A bit low gain this time probably. More consonance. :)

Office Improv after a weeklong travel in England. Recorded with lower gain this time, yielding less distortion, but relatively low volume. (May experiment with a different recording position next time.) Let me know how it works for you.

Tuesday office impro. Still a bit distorted, but it’s getting better.
Heard the neighbors above when things got wild and it reflected in my timing. :)

Improv E-Piano in the office this morning. Beginning of the week, thinking of software development projects.
I intend to record one piece every morning that I am in the office now, first thing after getting in, first-take-only, and publish them here, no matter how I think they turned out. Hope you stay along with me. :-)
This one turned out quite distorted - I’ll know better next time. Feedback is appreciated.
