Organ Improvisation in C major (24 July 2024)

Whenever one of my cousin's bands plays a show, I record my nightly organ improvisation and post it as an unlisted video. Because the show the band played yester-day was broadcast on the radio, though, I'm posting this one publicly.
The first few phrases are based on a synthesizer part near the beginning of Electric Light Orchestra's "Here Is the News," which I recently re-learned. Some of the structure (where I hold one note on one manual while playing on the other and then switch the rôles) is loosely based on a Telemann menuet for two horns that I recorded last year using Mellotron sounds ( • Telemann: Menuet for 2... ).
There's a little crack in the audio near the beginning (I guess I bumped the cable), but I sort of liked it, so I didn't edit it out.
My scale this week is A minor, but since these backing tracks are only in major keys, I played along to the relative major, C major.
