Faded Snapshot by John Riley

Faded Snapshot is a rather melancholy duet for marimba and vibraphone that looks back on a pair of freinds’ college years with fondness, and the memories might be like how one feels when an old, faded photograph is found. The yellow appearance, the creases in the picture, and even the texture of an old picture can conjure many feelings of reflection that perhaps are becoming lost with digital photography.
