Very evocative, you're a born impressionist, Neil. I like the little meditative moments, as if the hordes almost began to ask the point of it all, perhaps during a cup of tea or a visit to the mall toilet, only to relapse into pointless, materialistic, memetic fury once more. Personally, I hate this time of year with a vengeance, and your playing struck a kindred spirit. Can I ask that we hear you improvise a bit more often here ?

Haha, what a lovely commentary of our current reality. The commercialization of Christmas.  I am somewhat reminded of "the devils staircase" by Ligeti...
