The Blue Train

by Marcus Gosling

This piece tries to describe the mood and sounds of a train journey by night. The repetitive bass line, "doppler effect" crossing bells, and descending riff are used to create the image. Each part begins at intervals, giving a layered effect. This is also used as the train dies away into the distance.
