[Verse 1] [Glass harmonica overtones hover above sustained bass trombones, contrabass tuba and deep dub sub-bass drones. Two close female voices alternate a three-note cell; a rounded bass voice sustains the space beneath.] Drii — lin — daa (Druun — raa) Drii — lin — daa (Druun — raa) [Interlock three-note and four-note loops; shift the accents while keeping a steady inner pulse. Slow waves of brass resonance and widening stereo motion reveal a luminous magnetic lattice.] Zhi-ri-zhi — rin-na (Ri-zhi-rin-na — zhi) Zhi-ri-zhi — rin-na (Vruun — vruun — naa) [Let the upper voices overlap into a continuous halo; the bass remains smooth and immense.] Zhiriii — naaah (Vruuun — liii) Zhiriii — naaah (Vruuun — liii) [Verse 2] [Contrabass tuba, deep dub sub-bass and layered bass trombones form a dense sustained foundation. Close low voices repeat a compact cell; one thin high voice holds a silver harmonic.] Dum — vrom — dunnn (Niiin) Dum — vrom — dunnn (Niiin) [Compress the vocal spacing and add a low answering layer. The repeating cells become tightly packed; pressure grows through density and harmonic weight.] Wee-ra-lee-ra-lee (Lee-ra-lee-ra-wee) Wee-ra-lee-ra-lee (Lee-ra-lee-ra-wee) Wee-ra-lee-ra-lee (Lee-ra-lee-ra-wee) Wee-ra-lee-ra-lee (Lee-ra-lee-ra-wee) [Release one deep bass drop, then hold the entire weight in a stable chord. A small luminous interval opens above the concentrated low voices.] Duuunnn — vruuummm (Niiii — liii) Duuunnn — vruuummm (Niiii — liii) [Verse 3] [Sustained French horn harmonies circle above contrabass tuba and a continuous dub sub-bass drone. Soft voices use flowing consonants and unbroken vowels, entering at slightly different points.] Wee-ra-lee-ra (Raa-le-raa-wee) Wee-ra-lee-ra (Raa-le-raa-wee) [Let the two loops drift gently in phase. Add one flowing syllable; overlapping voices create a slowly turning pattern while tuba drones and glass harmonica remain suspended.] Wee-ra-lee-ra-lee (Lee-ra-lee-ra-wee) Wee-ra-lee-ra-lee (Lee-ra-lee-ra-wee) Wee-ra-lee-ra-lee (Lee-ra-lee-ra-wee) Wee-ra-lee-ra-lee (Lee-ra-lee-ra-wee) [Stretch the syllables across the slowly turning French horn harmonies. The choir swells quietly into a broad warm halo, then thins while the inner rotation continues.] Weeee — raaa — leeee (Raaaa — leee — weeee) Weeee — raaa — leeee (Raaaa — leee — weeee) [Verse 4] [Contrabass tuba, bass trombones and rounded dub sub-bass hold the stellar weight. Two choirs answer from opposite sides; the original three-note signal returns in a brighter register.] Drii — lin — daa (Druun — raa) Drii — lin — daa (Druun — raa) [Add notes to the signal; rising sustained French horn harmonies and silver glass harmonica tones gather beneath it. The answering choirs rise toward a shared luminous register.] Drii-lin-rin-daa (Rin-daa-drii-lin) Drii-lin-rin-dan-laa (Rin-dan-laa-drii-lin) Drin-ran-dan-laa (Lii-rin-lii-laa) Drin-ran-dan-laa (Lii-rin-lii-laa) [One enormous bass drop opens into an expansive resolved chord. Choirs unite in long radiant vowels; massed bass trombones and French horns lift the phrase to its full height.] Driiii — raaann — daaa — LAAAII (Liiii — riii — laiii) Driiii — raaann — daaa — LAAAII (Liiii — riii — laiii) [Let choir and glass harmonica sustain the light; brass and sub-bass slowly recede while the distant pulse continues.] Drii — lin — daaaa (Liiii — laiii)
