Create a Cosmo-B track: futuristic Belter pop fused with electronic rhythms and industrial textures, mixing polyglot vocals in Belter Creole, English, and fragments of other languages, Driving basslines echo like ship engines, layered with metallic percussion that mimics docking clamps and airlock hisses, Melody lines are bright and soaring, carried by female vocals with elongated phrasing that evokes life in low-gravity, Add subtle acoustic elements—handclaps, recycled-metal drums, echoes of folk instruments—to ground it in Belt heritage, The overall mood is resilient, gritty yet celebratory, reflecting the survival and pride of Beltalowda
3:16
Create a Cosmo-B pop ballad: slow tempo, emotional and atmospheric, blending Belter Creole and English lyrics, Soft electronic pads layered with airy synths and gentle bass, evoking the emptiness of space, Add subtle metallic echoes like distant hull reverberations, with acoustic-style elements such as hand percussion or strings to ground it in Belt culture, Vocals should be soulful and elongated, with fragile high notes that rise and fade like signals drifting through vacuum, Mood is mournful yet hopeful, carrying resilience and memory across the stars
3:42
Create a Cosmo-B dance anthem: fast tempo, driving bass and pounding electronic beats, fused with industrial percussion that mimics ship engines, docking clamps, and airlock hisses, Layer in soaring synth leads and rhythmic vocal chops in Belter Creole and English, designed for call-and-response chants with a live audience, The groove should be relentless and hypnotic, blending gritty Belt textures with bright cosmic melodies, Atmosphere: rebellious, euphoric, and unifying — the sound of Belters celebrating survival and pride on the dance floor of the void
3:51
Create a hardcore Cosmo-B track: fast tempo, aggressive rhythm, fusing metallic industrial beats with live chimes, hammered zithers, and heavy tribal-style drums, The percussion should dominate — deep, pounding, layered with metallic clangs like ship hull strikes, Chimes provide sharp accents that cut through the mix, while zithers are distorted and processed, giving an alien, metallic string texture, Vocals in Belter Creole and English should be raw, shouted, or chanted, driving intensity rather than melody, Atmosphere: fierce, rebellious, and relentless — the sound of Belt survival turned into battle music
3:30
Create a Belter music track: raw, multicultural fusion with aggressive energy, Blend metallic chimes, hammered zithers, and heavy tribal drums with distorted angry guitars and electronic wailing synths, Vocals should mix multiple languages (Belter Creole, English, Spanish, Hindi, Mandarin, Arabic), shifting between shouted chants and melodic fragments, The sound is industrial, gritty, and rebellious, evoking life in the Belt’s hard vacuum — resilience, anger, and pride transformed into music
