This piece sounds very "fluttery". I played it after watching a movie. It's unique in terms of my improvisational output -- I've never played anything quite like it before. It's interesting what you come up with sometimes when inspiration strikes.

I personally found the part from 4:00 onward to be rather interesting. I think one of the points of interest is the lack of a clear melody. It's meandering and doesn't draw attention to itself, resulting in the piece sounding rather atmospheric.
