Prog Rock Stuff

70s progressive rock with strong orchestral elements, inspired by Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Male baritone vocal, but sung with a fragile, emotional, breath-broken delivery; slightly trembling tone, fragmented phrasing, subtle cracks, occasional whispered edges, Lyrics should be delivered in a halting, dreamlike, slightly ‘cut-up’ manner, with pauses between short images and broken lines, Instrumentation: warm harmonic intro; later sections growing darker and more dissonant, Aggressive Hammond organ, Moog-style synth leads, complex shifting meters (5/4–3/8–7/4–9/8–6/4), bold bass, powerful drums, Orchestral layers floating, shadowed, sometimes tense: strings, brass clusters, timpani swells, distant choir hum, Overall mood: emotional vulnerability, dreamlike fragmentation, increasing tension, unresolved ending
