Hynes first performed his improvisation of Eastman's 1979 "Evil N*****" piece during FORM and Jammcard's Black Power Live virtual festival last month.

Today (29 July), Hynes has released the six-and-a-half-minute piano piece on streaming services. Watch the video performance from Black Power Live below.
