```
GENRE/STYLE: Downtempo electronica, trip-hop, cinematic breakbeat
BPM: 124
KEY: D minor (modal)
VOICE: Male baritone — weathered, nasal, deadpan half-spoken chant. Stepwise fifth range. Dry close-mic, plate reverb, hook doubling, no pitch correction.
INSTRUMENTATION: Chopped breakbeat (crisp snare, short room tail, dusty kick), eighth-note synth bass on root, legato minor string pad, two-note minor-third bell ostinato (detuned), filtered noise risers, tambourine, sub swell under chorus.
AMBIANCE: Wide stereo strings over narrow dry-center groove — spacious yet claustrophobic.
REFERENCE VIBE: Rain-slicked 3am pursuit — mechanical loop locked, weary voice above orchestral sorrow.
STRUCTURE: 8b intro, 16b verse, 8b chorus (strings in), v2, ch2, 8b breakdown, final chorus, 8b fade.
