Sixteenth-note hands

How to play it

1. 1Play continuous sixteenth-note ghosts at 55, strictly alternating hands, four taps per click. Slow and light - this is a relaxation exercise disguised as a speed exercise.
2. 2Count one-e-and-a two-e-and-a out loud. The number lands on the click.
3. 3Keep the motions tiny. Fingertips fall from two or three centimetres, no more.
4. 4The moment your forearms tense, drop 5 BPM. Speed comes from looseness, never from effort.
5. 5Record about 60 seconds.

Listen forEven, light sixteenth notes with no galloping and no seizing up, at a steady tempo throughout.

start 55 · pass 70 BPM · take about 60s

Record a take

I start the click at 55 BPM, count one bar, and stop after about 60s. Phone about a metre away, facing the front plate. You get my notes within a minute of sending it.
