The day I recorded this, having played with the notes all week, I felt a bit more stress than usual. But it came out smoother than I thought it would. I think deflecting my attention by messing around with the paint--and, for me, analyzing the differences between music and painting, even if the notes got long--helped me past a lot of tension accumulated during a long work week. Sitting at the organ with such a doable goal in mind, as playing with the four notes, creates a new world, detached, balanced.
