A Tribute to the movie Phantasm

Neo-synthwave horror ballad; 86 BPM, A minor; preserve imported sample’s arpeggiated extended-chord bed + original top-line contour (no piano on melody); primary melody as mono wavetable/analog-poly synth (60–90 ms portamento, gentle vibrato), doubled by bowed-synth/choir pad + thin tape-strings; analog polys with detuned saw beds, eerie wavetable overtones, sparse FM bell pings; sub as breathing swell with mild sidechain to leave space for synth melody + vocal; ambience: long pre-delay plate + small iron-room slap, tasteful tape hiss, wow/flutter; drums minimal: Linn/DMX ghosted snare, low-velocity rim, heartbeat kick post-first hook, sparse hats; vocal: grounded, grainy older male baritone, intimate + close, dry/no FX, warm/honest/aged tone, spoken-sung phrasing, internal groove, narrow in verses, wider double in hooks; noir neon dread, reflective melancholy; melody sits +1–2 dB over pads

aggressive industrial synthwave with distorted basslines, metallic percussion and mechanical rhythms — heavy, grinding textures, low analog synths, glitch pulses, and cinematic tension, male vocal, raw and restrained with a dark tone; slightly processed, as if recorded through broken speakers, evokes a dystopian horror atmosphere — neon lights, concrete, and psychological decay
