I play piano. I don't practice, I play. I play to hear the pleasing sounds, not to 'get better' although a byproduct of playing regularly is improvement. When I'm playing, the whole world is tuned out, I see the keys but my mind is focused on the sounds and tonal intervals . I make a lot of mistakes but am nuetral towards them, I simply play parts again and again until it sounds 'right' and I enjoy the process of finding the right notes. I don't read any music or play covers, I just pick a key and use the circle of fifths to improvise melodies and chord progressions into something meaningful and pleasing to my ears.
This, but synthesiser, while also play piano sounds on my midi keyboard, I find that synth sound is the most etheric, specially if I dial it myself or edit the presets.
