Sad Tune With Faint Rhythmic Pulse

Major-key and dark, with just enough percussive trace to give a faint pulse — unlike the free-time piano tracks around it, this one has a quiet sense of tempo. Nearly three minutes.
For sad but moving footage: journeys, transitions, leaving scenes and slow travel. The faint rhythm suits picture that is going somewhere, where a pulseless piece would stall.
A hundred and thirty-six beats per minute, but only just — the pulse here is a trace rather than a beat. One of only four tracks on the album with any measurable tempo at all, against six in free time.
