Core: Sonic embodiment of despair/void. A state, not an emotion. Tempo: 40-55 BPM. Essence: Minimalism, decay, and oppressive silence. Sound: Dissonance over melody. Walls of texture (tritones, clusters, microtones). Instruments: Strings: Scraping, metallic (sul ponticello). Piano: Detuned, clusters (low), dissonant notes (high). Drums: Deep, distorted 808s. Funeral tempo. Chains/metal sounds. Electronics: Granular synthesis from field recordings. Vocals: Lifeless whisper/baritone. Heavy granular/reverb processing. Structure: Emergence (lone sound) Accumulation (texture layers) Suffocation (dissonant wall of sound) Dissolution (sound evaporates to noise/silence) Outcome: The track doesn't end—it disappears. Aims for physical heaviness/cold. No catharsis., male vocal
