I am sorry, but I refuse to delude myself into thinking that simply sitting down and either running rote through a bunch of MP3's or just LH chording the large percentage of one's accompaniment and playing a simple RH melody is anything other than commerce at it's crassest.
That would be me, Diki...guilty as charged.
I play LH chords, and a melody in the RH.
To me, it is not about making "art", but rather, playing instrumental music that I love, making a decent living, and being happy, the last one being the by-product of achieving the first two.
So far, it been very successful.
