Maréee-basse-Cinis Pueri - The Ashes of the Hamlet (v0.3b)

[0:00-0:40 distant scene - cold muffled war drum slow methodical NOT heroic, violent flames crackling field recording, distant indistinct voices far away, a panicked alarm bell ringing in the distance] [0:40-1:00 transition - war drum fades out, distant voices cease, alarm bell stops, flames sink into embers] [1:00-1:45 ambient ruins - burnt wood crackling embers field recording, faint sub drone very low, microtonal dissonance creeping underneath subtle] [1:45-2:15 solo cello enters - weeping slow long bowed notes, no melody, dissonance grows underneath] [2:15-2:50 solo female voice enters distant - tender wordless lullaby, soft beautiful at first] Aaa... oo... aaa... [lullaby pitch drifts wrong like a scratched record, tenderness becomes unsettling] [2:50-3:20 scraped viola dirty rising in waves, lullaby more distorted wrong intervals] Aaa... iii... [Final 30s outro - lullaby dissolves, cello fades, scraped strings fade, only dying embers remain, silence]
