To be honest with you here, the video editing of the Sebaldina was done only last week, the recording of it goes back to somewhere January-February -I would have to look it up to be sure-. Having edited a zillion videos since then, you will believe me that I did not have a single clue any more of how this recording was filmed. And so, sitting at my PC, going through the footage, I noticed my rather unusual opening "position". You'll guessed it, there is no secret, other than probably a last quick check at the camera, returning to my clav and just starting, but... there is something to learn perhaps as well.
Support from both feet is really essential in keyboard playing. That, together with a stable, but not to fixed position of your back. See it this way: you as a keyboard player wants to be as flexible as possible in your spine as possible, so sitting as much on the front of your bench is a good thing. I do practice this from time to time by purposely making unnecessary moves, just like the one you see here at the opening of the vid. Turning my complete upper body while playing, keeping the same control (in pieces that allow you to do that), turning the other way around, standing, sitting, etc, while playing, going back and forth with my upper body (still while playing) etc. When Evelien was younger a nice exercise which she liked was, when she would sit on my lap, hands on mine, and playing, trying to adjust the weight of her hands that she varied a lot at the moment without noticing it in the sound. Of course, that trick reached its limit when she'd go up and down in a rather brutal way, but you can not believe what a control you gain doing all of that weird stuff, in situation that are 'normal'.
So yes, for the sake of the opening of this video, since it falls a little bit outside the 'normal' looks of a keyboard player, I would have needed both feet approximately lined up with each other. But the fact that I hadn't and correct almost not realizing is something that you could say I'm kind of trained for. And you might consider doing the same!
