Help with identifying a piece

Banginkeys

Hello! I found this old music file on my laptop and am not sure what piece this is. If anyone can help identify the name of the piece or the composer I would love to know!

Banginkeys Fascinating.

It's atonal, right? The second instrument sounded pentatonic at first.

Banginkeys is the piano ‘prepared’? It doesn’t sound full-on John Cage, but it sounds like something’s been done to change the timber of some of the notes.

Sgisela I thought it was a second instrument, like a handpan drum or similar.

@Banginkeys I’m afraid I can’t help you identify that piece, but welcome to Piano Tell!

I'll send it to a friend of mine, who's a composer. He might just recognize it. Google didn't, but I guess that's not surprising.

Unfortunately, he did not recognize it:
"Every 1960s horror film soundtrack? It's so generic I thought it might be Elliott Carter's Night Fantasy, but that goes in a different direction. Crumb? Rochberg? Could be nearly anyone from that period! Sorry I can't help. Play it through the air and see if Siri can identify it."

Unfortunately, Siri didn't recognize it either. Composer Tania Leon was another possibility suggested.

Thanks everyone for trying! I believe I had downloaded it years ago from some piano shared recordings website. I tried Shazam and also uploaded it to AHA Music but so far nothing. I guess it will remain unknown for now!
