V6

[Instrumental, the sustained D major chord from before is gone in an instant, one solo cello on a low D with the third now minor, a muffled low drum thud once per beat like a distant heartbeat, 54 BPM, D minor, close microphone, bow noise audible, 8 bars] [Instrumental, the cello plays the two step rise of the motif, the long note sags downward in pitch, the drum thuds continue, 8 bars] [Instrumental, the cello continues the worn motif, the leap shortened, the held high note wavering, 8 bars] [Instrumental, the cello plays one long low note on its own, the drum thuds continue, 8 bars] [Instrumental, a felt piano adds one low note every four beats, the cello plays the motif an octave lower, 8 bars] [Instrumental, the cello phrase breaks off before the half fall, its last note held and wavering, the drum thuds continue alone for two bars, 8 bars] [Instrumental, the cello returns, the half fall of the motif now lands a step lower as if the strength is gone, 8 bars] [Instrumental, the cello holds long tones, the piano low notes continue, the drum thuds one per beat, 8 bars] [Instrumental, the cello plays the motif once more broken to its first two notes, repeated, 8 bars] [Instrumental, the drum thuds thin to one every two beats, the cello holds one long note, 8 bars] [Instrumental, the cello plays one last long low D, the drum thuds thin to one every four beats, the volume only falls, 8 bars] [Instrumental, a bare low D held, one last soft thud, nothing else, the volume only falls until the sound ends naturally, 8 bars] [END]
