Here's a hint then: http:dis-dot-dat.net/pianopart.ogg That's the piano part I wrote while listening to the original piece. It sounds almost exactly like it. This was then used in my track, speeded up or heavily low-passed, with new pianos, synths, drums, etc. You can still hear it at the start quite well and at the end it's the jingly bell-like sound.
