need a title

I was taking a break from writing. I had other things on going. However, I woke up with part of this track in my head, so I thought I'd better get it down as quick as poss.
If anyone has an idea for a title, that would be cool to hear what kinda pictures this puts in your minds.
Many thanks,
  Gus

    Might be just because it is cold as hell right now, but that piano sound brings to mind lots of ice and blue water.

    awesome movie score, russ.

    No names centered around that come to mind!

    It's not you, Dan.
    This is wonderfully chilly and dark.
    I don't have a title for you, Gus, But this starts out cold and a little damp, then soars to dry and still cold heights. I'm getting NatGeo visuals of the Andes.
    Nice work, and a very clean mix.

    Is that 'Alien Piano 1' from Dim Pro on the intro? I use that a lot. Without reading anyone else's posts, I got a film noir or cold war/spy vibe from this, and 'Out in The Cold' came to mind. Love the orchestration, very dramatic. The screaming guitar was a surprise, but I like it.

    It invokes a sense of impending doom or potential victory after struggling or some type of strife.

    Gus,
     
    What a great track.   To me, the feeling is that of something good or bad about to happen, such as the hero of the movie planning his/her big move to blow the bad guys out of the water and the viewer isn't quite sure how it will all work out.    Maybe "Out of the _________."  fill in the blank, fog, mist, cold, bleak, rain, desolate, etc....   Seems to invoke movement from bad to good to me.
     
    Regards

    Thanks for all of your comments guys. Its great to hear what this piece stirs up in your heads.
    On SC I've added an image that I think is fitting. The Title has come from a book idea from the wife, which does incorporate your ideas. Have a look and see if you can piece together the photo with the music and your own ideas of of where this music takes you.
     
    Wook, I too feel that this piece ends too soon. but alas, I've got other work to be getting on with. I'll get back to it though.
    Tony, Of course I know who Mr Zimmer is. The darling of Hollywood that everyone wants to score their films. I was thinking of going to one of his concerts last year, but thought better of it. David Arnold was a better choice. :)

    Thanks peeps.
    Shawn, I checked out Patrick O'Hearn and I can see what you mean :)
    Wayne, Although the guitar is written in the style of my playing, It's done with VST's :)

    The image I got was of a man walking into his house after his wife's funeral and looking at all the things that reminded him of her.
    I'd call it:
    After the Funeral or
    Bittersweet Memories
     
    Something like that.

    Sounds like a soundtrack for a zombie game or apocalypse movie.  Nice and spooky!  And well done. :)
     
    Some title ideas, if you're still shopping:
     
    "The Morning After"
    "What Have We Done?"
    "Forever Alone"
    "The True Price"

    It's kind of serious . . . wait, it's really serious! Great effort! I like the different parts, and I agree, a movie soundtrack, something brooding, with some heavy drama.
     
    As for a title, that will come, but a title that can be safely eliminated:
    "Frolicking Bunnies in the Meadow"  :)
     
    nice one! thanks for sharing it

    I have a name.  "Dracula Sucks".  Get it?  Now, pleaase know that I only used that because you said something about Dracula's castle.  The song does not suck, in fact it's really good.  I would like to see this with a video.  I find that this genre always becomes more interesting to me with a video to follow.  Make sense?  Did you say somewhere that the guitar isn't real?  Interesting, GusRuss.  It's a nice piece of work.

    Like it. Yeah the photo is of Whitby Abbey. YUp, that makes sense, perhaps I should start writing to vid. The lead guitar is EW Ministry of rock 2.
     Thanks for you comments. :)

    Tough to come up with a title. I think you might have to write some lyrics that reflect your feelings and the name would come from there.
    If you're going to keep it as an instrumental then pick a visual that suits what you are aiming for and go from there.
    Sorry, bit of a cop out.
    Nice music though, the best ones often come when you are least expecting them.

    Nice work, Gus!   A simple melody that slowly moves forward, little by little...    Love the open ambiance around everything, it really works well.
