I appreciate your honesty. This track was made in a single take. Usually
I would edit these things or add a few more layers and effects. I've
made a few tracks with spontaneous keyboard playing (in this case
virtual keyboard playing with the mouse and keyboard).

I was using mx44 without effects. Unlike zynaddsubfx where you have to
enable the sound for additional midi channels, mx44 has them all enabled
by definition. So while playing with it, I could send a note-on to one
channel with note-off being sent to another, causing the note to hold
indefinitely.

Once I discovered that I stopped playing and immediately began recording
without a great deal of preparation or rehearsal (though many other
elements were explored in previous tracks).

So I guess the criticism falls down to my spontaneity, which is difficult
to... unsure how to say ...without forcing things.

Not quite, no. Not with that sound, not at all.

But maybe try these (from 2008):

(more bashing tins and stuff than keyboard 'playing')
