This is an upload for a sample request (http://www.freesound.org/forum/sample-requests/32975/ ) for a person who wanted a haunting melody with some layers in the key of G# / Ab.

Edit (Mar 2018): No need to ask if you need to give me credit. Up to you. Just continue your amazing work with sounds & music. ;) Specs: 80bpm, 48000 Hz, 24 bit, wav forma·ambient, atmosphere
