Composing music without electricity

While playing on the piano, listening and discussing masterpieces such as
Vocalise - Rachmaninov in E minor
Prelude 20 op.24 in C minor - Chopin


Vicky suggested how important it must be to compose at dim light, possibly without electricity as it was done those hundred or much more ago.


It is true that one feels differently if disconnected from electricity. Pleiades labs is an example. A sinewave inverter is only switched on to power the house when electricity us needed. Batteries power the inverter, such batteries charged from just a few solar panels through a battery charge controller. Much of what may be done in a day in done with batteries, directly without the use of any inverter, if needed.


A hand crank charged small red torch bought from IKEA is used for dim light. It just converts chemical energy from what we eat, (we rotate the handle and there's dim light).


It is fun.

It is fun that an acoustic piano does not need electricity.


Cats or humans are fun too. They do not need to be charged by USB.
