Amazing playing! Especially love the big left hand movements. Do you compose and then have to learn to play the piece, or do you play around until it becomes a composition?
I love that you seem to have lots of control over the playing. There's a lot of dynamics but in the fastest/craziest parts you still seem grounded. I've been thinking about how I can't help but try and go 110% berserk in more or less every solo... and I need to hold back sometimes 
do you think about that? how does it sound when you go full berserk on some of these runs you do? I guess if it sounds good at 90% intensity you can just keep it there but I'm always like "gimme more"
Love your mixing of classical with light jazz flourishes. I swear most of your Piano pieces sound like they could be missing Saga Frontier II songs!

I play around with multiple ideas on my piano until I have something concrete. It’s only until I start notating do I realize the patterns and visually see how my harmonies work together.
As for going berserk during solos, I’m more reserved now in my 30s but in my 20s and teens I was literally practicing as many cadenzas as I could. I have some ideas for flashy piano etude studies but nothing feels concrete yet.
Wow - your left hand control is truly amazing. And playing is wonderful - such a rad combination styles and playing techniques. I love the chord movement (combined with modal shift?!) at 2:10.... amazing. And the diminished runs are bliss! And then it just journeys on from there. Enjoyed every second of this - went from being a bit stressed after ending my day, to zoning out, and now gonner power off PC, and get some sleep. Thanks for that!
Wow, I wish I could play the piano.
Beautiful. It is super cool to have access to that on that platform, I was on random for week 9 and this was a pleasant surprise.
