Well, I started by writing the basic chord progressions in Finale 2005, then elaborating them around a simple melody (very simple). The underlaying runs are built usually along tuplets of decreasing size, because I love the way that it sounds. Mostly it went septuplet eighths, sextuplet eigths, quintuplet eights, and four straight eighth notes. It gives the left hand part a very expressive texture of movement while staying in strict tempo.

Then once it was to my satisfaction, I recorded it using my Old Lady sample piano in Logic Pro Audio 7.
