This is of course a totally free piece. I like these things more as the years go by. It's probably partly due to a growing tolerance (acquired taste) for dissonance. Also, this type sound shows off a couple of strengths the piano has - keeping the damper pedal down for long stretches to hear resonance and ringing, and the range of the instrument and the sympathetic resonance of most of the 230 or so strings all sounding and interacting.
There's not much for me to say about the played content (notes) and my choices. I choose to try to not play the things my hands want to go to out of familiarity. That's difficult. Really, for me, the effort here is in doing the aforementioned and thinking of notes as part of a sound or effect, and very little in the way of melodies and chords. This very last point fascinates me because fitting this kind of playing (sound) over a chord progression (say a standard piece), and (here's the hard part) doing it in a way that sounded somewhat consonant to the whole could be the makings of a very unique personal style. This is what I'm approaching from the flip side of this coin with my standard deviations.
