Ch.1 The Cathedral of Grief

[Instrumental Break] (sub-bass pulse felt more than heard, amber drone surfacing slowly, no percussion) [Build-Up] (the cello drone emerges — one unresolving note; glass overtones cycle amber against copper; contrabass settles beneath) [Interlude] (no development, only sustained devotion; pads breathe in slow waves; a distant generator hum rises and recedes) [Outro] (everything thins until only the sub-bass remains, then fades to nothing)
