Piano Improv

This is a video I made with an excerpt of a performance I did at An Die Musik in Baltimore MD on July 2nd, 2011. I enjoy the lilting spacial use of improvised melody with hip chord changes in the left hand. The tempo is slow if not so romantic that it does not have a particular tempo, or rather oscillates between various tempos. Lately I am leaning more to this style of playing. I used to employ a more steady driving tempo, pretty constant with a strong left hand. But now I am liking a more ethereal touch. Even when I am listening to music, I have been leaning towards a slow dragging blues or a ballad, as opposed to an uptempo beat.
