WHEN THE STORM COMES – [Long instrumental opening] [Deep cello and contrabass pulse, slow 3/2 rhythm, distant wind, soft low-frequency drone] [Instrumental] [Low strings move in repeating waves, subtle bass pulse, no percussion] [Very deep female breath-voice] The storm… will come. [Long instrumental] [Cello and contrabass slowly swell and recede like wind, constant low pulse] [Whisper] Bend. [Instrumental] [Whisper] Breathe. [Long instrumental passage] [Dark low strings, soft friction textures, distant wind, deep continuous resonance] [Whisper] Hold. [Instrumental – no build] [Steady low rhythm continues, warm contrabass and cello] [Very deep whisper] Beneath me… roots. [Long instrumental] [Whisper] Family. Friends. Love. Purpose. [Instrumental] [Low wordless humming appears quietly beneath the strings] [Whisper] They hold. [Long instrumental passage] [Same restrained pulse, cello, contrabass, low humming and distant wind] [Whisper] The storm passes. [Instrumental outro] [Rhythm gradually becomes slower and softer] [Final whisper] The roots remain. [Low drone] [Silence]. .
