At the end of last year I actually had some time to just sit and play. I have a two keyboard setup so had the lower one driving 'Ghost Ensemble' on CH1 and the upper one with 'Angel Piano' on CH2. After a bit of random pootling around I just hit on the first phrase of this and just knew I had to do something with it. I always have Rosegarden set up ready, so just hit record and ran with it... for about 4 minutes. Later, I put it up on Soundcloud, with just the start and finish trimmed, and titled Improv2. That's when the fun started. I just could *not* think of a suitable title. I also thought I should tidy it up a bit, but apart from removing one really duff note nothing else seemed to really need attention. Looking through my photos I found one that seemed to fit the mood, and added it to the Soundcloud file. This was of an abandoned trackway, that is about a mile long and in some placed barely passable even on foot. Still I couldn't think of a title. Eventually it came to me quite out of the blue, so here it is fully formed :) http://www.musically.me.uk/music/Quietly_Fading_Away.ogg
The most important thing, I think, in writing any piece of music, whether it's instrumental or with vocals/lyrics, is to engender an emotion in the listener. You've succeeded, beautifully. I really enjoyed that. Thanks for sharing it.
