Air: 'Alone in Kyoto' , from soundtrack to 'Lost in Translation' - piano solo version

This piece was written by the French electronica band Air (specifically Jean-Benoit Dunckel and Nicolas Godin) as an original contribution to the soundtrack of Sofia Coppola's 2003 Oscar-nominated comedy 'Lost in Translation'. On the soundtrack the piece is highly electronic, although the central sectiion contains piano chords. This is the published piano version, which, although the outer sections have a very different sound to the soundtrack, seems to work in its own right!

i wish i could play the piano. it seems like every song can be played on the piano and it still sounds good.

In my great, great ignorance, your interpretation reminds me of Satie. Very well done sir.
