Subject: Help! Mystery Piano Piece

I've been trying to find out the name/composer of this piece for months and it's been driving me mad. It was used at the end of the 'Secret Life of the Motorway' Series screened recently on BBC4. I've recorded this (with commentary unfortunately over the top) and uploaded it to the following URL: http://www.spectroscopynow.com/FCKeditor/UserFiles/File/Temp/Secret_Life_Motorway_Music.WMA

To me it sounds a little like Philip Glass with its fast, repetitive piano bars, but others think that it could be Aphex Twin or a similar ambient artist.

I've heard it used quite a number of times on science programs such as Horizon and other documentaries.

Any help anyone could offer would be greatly approciated, since this is a hauntingly beautiful piece that I'd love to have on my iPod!

Add a bit of sheet music, along with a MIDI file, simply by entering note names in Lilypond syntax between the [L] and [/L] tags.
For example, you can try what happens if you enter: [l]g'4 g'4 d''4 d''4 e''4 e''4 d''2[/l] (use the Preview function if you don't actually want to post this).
You can create these lists of note names by clicking on piano keys here.

If you just want to sing, whistle, or play a melody so that other forum visitors can hear it, follow these steps:

1. Record your audio here.
2. You should notice a 32-character hash code, something like: 2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf
3. copy this hash code and paste it into a forum post, enclosed in the audio tags, for example: [audio]2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf[/audio]

If the original question in a thread is solved, please mark it as solved using the "solved" icon (or by just typing [solved] into your post). This makes life easier for people who are willing to identify melodies, since unsolved problems are easier to spot that way. If a problem turns out to not be solved after all, just write [/solved] in a new post, and the thread will be labeled accordingly.
