No absolute hate for the fast-paced world we live in, but we were not built to process things like machines do. It’s a good human idea to balance this out by incorporating slow-paced activities (for the sake of both our intelligence and mental health).

Reality is that as boring as it can be to practice one hard passage over and over again, with extremely boring patterns which I didn’t record, is what achieves a “clean” sound. 20 secs from today’s practice session:

You know that there’s an easier version of your life where you settle down for decisions with low-risks, stick to what’s conventional and believe in what your surrounding is telling you to believe in, yet this hard and torturing version is pulling you like a gravitational force.

Silences are very important when playing music, and they’re as important as the notes. All of my piano teachers told me to be good at “counting the silences” because that’s part of what makes the difference between amateurs and professionals: to feel the rhythm of the silence.
