Good composition practice.  Thought I might be tired and uninspired after running and exercising but didn't seem to make any difference.  Felt fairly inspired.

Notes: 

L hand improv to tracks.  Felt good to practice "long paths" with each hand; sweeps through space unbroken with strikes or sharp fuchi rebounds.  Was good warmup to composing Sweeps section.

Notes: 

Handtagonism Duet v2 composition; ending of circles section into Sweeps section.  Created sound, movement, and hand-relationship development ideas then referred to them to make decisions as I worked step by step from what was written to new stuff.  Struggled with whether to compose slowly or work with OG playing.  Somehow figuring out and counting "1&2&..." seemed to help keep me connected to the actual tempo (so that I don't write great things at a slow tempo that are unplayable at game speed.)
