Meditation in C -- Spontaneous Piano Improvisation

First of all, the wonderful digtal keys on this video is a beta version of a program by Jamal at Youtube channel GospelMusicians. There are a few kinks before it gets out of beta, but it is by far the best digital keyboard display that I have used. Check it out at www.midikeyz.com

This piece is similar in style to Free Improvisation in D, but I let myself use a couple of accidentals: F# and G# while in the key of C. I like setting limitations on what I can and cannot play in a given piece, because it helps define the sound and actually encourages more creativity to 'get around' the limitations set in place. What I personally liked about this performance is that it contained no forethought and it felt very spontaneous while I was playing it. I had been out of town and this was the first time I played the piano in several days. I focused on voice leading while taking it slow. I hope you enjoy it.

How beautiful. I closed my eyes and felt myself floating up from a desert to a cold, quite snow capped mountain..I was surrounded my your piano and pure white as far as I could see..behind me was a double rainbow and then as I was almost asleep.....my dog licked my face and brought me back to my humble office !!!! :) I'll take the dog out and hit re-play. Thanks for posting:)

Hey 7notemode, It would be really cool if you could explain more about how you sync the video with the midi sound. Do you use the inbuilt mics to make the sync?
