You're intently focused on the task, intensly -in- control, not "quieting the mind" (precisely the opposite) in any qualitative or meanigful sense...I'm not sure how to respond to that. I for sure am quieting the mind, and trying to allow my unconscious/subconscious mind access to the performing apparatus. I'm not thinking deeply, I'm not putting an intense effort into it. In fact, in performance, I often have something like an out-of-body experience. . . I can't feel my hands, or sometimes even see the keyboard-- all I can do is listen to the music coming out and hope it doesn't stop coming. In essence, I don't play the music, I become it.
