[LAU] Quietly Fading Away

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 :)

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
